Town Sold On eBay Not Really Sold

Town Sold On eBay Not Really Sold 12/29/2003 04:51 AM
Earlier this month, I wrote about how it's become popular to use eBay as not just a buying and selling platform, but also as a PR platform for such things as selling towns - because you're almost guaranteed to get press coverage for selling something weird. Of course, it looks like there might also be a downside. Last year, a town in California received a ton of press for being put up on eBay, after conventional attempts to sell it had failed. That press coverage helped push up interest in the town until someone "won" the town with a bid of $1.8 million. Of course, as we pointed out at the time, with many such high profile auctions, the top bid is likely to be bogus. A few months after the original auction, it was reported that the sale still hadn't been finalized. Now, exactly a year after the original eBay auction happened, the folks who "own" the town are admitting that the buyer disappeared and never sent a check. Even worse, the sellers then went down the list of everyone else who bid on the town and failed to find a single legitimate buyer. Thus, the town is back up for sale - but not on eBay and at half the price of what they "sold" it for last year.

Town Sold On eBay Finally Sold For
Real... But Not On eBay

Town Sold On eBay Finally Sold For
Real... But Not On eBay 05/21/2004 02:35 AM
Back in 2002 there was a tremendous amount of hype when Bridgeville, the small (mostly deserted) California town was put up for sale on eBay. It eventually sold in an auction for $1.8 million - and got a tremendous amount of press attention. The only problem: the $1.8 million bid was a hoax. A whole year went by and the owners of the "town" sheepishly admitted that the buyer (and his money) never showed up. Now, however, the town has been sold again - but not on eBay, and back down at its original asking price of $700,000. Even with the failure of the actual sale to go through, though, people still remember that you can "sell a town on eBay," contributing to the use of eBay as a PR platform beyond just its ability to match buyers and sellers.

Zorn Whups Chicagoist’s Ass

“In the wee final moments of Thursday night, Chicagoist received an e-mail from Chicagoist's favorite professional blogger and columnist Mr. Eric Zorn.

The subject line: ‘whup ass report -- Nexis’

Seems Chicagoist may have inadvertently overstated things yesterday when we said getting the phrase ‘can of whup-ass’ into the pages of the &lsq uo;stuffy and stodgy Tribune’ signaled a ‘hope for tomorrow,’ as Zorn uncovered at least four previous occasions when said phrase has appeared in the Trib. Using his trusty Lexis-Nexis, Zorn found the mentions and they go clear back into 2001.

While one Chicagoist staff member was heard to say that if Zorn wants to lend us the cash to get a subscription to Lexis-Nexis we'd be happy to check for such things, and while two of the references are found in the pages of Red Eye, Chicagoist knows when we've had our asses handed to us and we can admit it….” [Chicagoist]

I was going to leave a comment on the Chicagoist site to the effect that while they may not have access to Lexis-Nexis, they most certainly have access to a far wider range of materials that most definitely includes an archive of the Chicago Tribune, all for free, thanks to their local public library. Except that in this case, that local public library is the Chicago Public Library. In order to prove my point, I searched for a list of the databases to which they offer access. Guess what? No list. Just a link to “Chicago WebFeat Remote Authentication.” What on earth do you suppose is a WebFeat Remote Authentication, much less a Chicago one?

That’s when I realized that Chicagoist doesn’t know the answer to that question, either, and really, why should they? So to Chicagoist, trust me that your search would have gotten you what you needed if the page had been labeled something that made sense and provided any type of explanation or list at all. Bookmark that page, because there’s a wealth of information available to you from it (assuming that you have a library card, and I feel pretty confident that you do). And to CPL, rename that page ASAP and add a list of all of the databases available in order to highlight your assets, not hide them!
