How do property people spend their spare cash? You might think it all goes back into bricks and mortar but you would be wrong - most of them have plenty of investments already, bought when prices were a lot lower than they are now. No, one influential player in the Dublin market recently revealed his favourite flutter - putting all his spare cash into prize bonds. The move paid off handsomely when he picked up not one but two five-figure prizes almost immediately. Another well-known estate agent about town who's known for his expensive taste in decor and fast cars was spotted at last week's antiques fair in the RDS investing thousands in his new passion - antique glass.
