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 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.

I've sold out! 02/10/2004 02:44 AM

What can I say - the lure of the mighty dollar proved too much. I've just made my first post to my new client-side scripting blog over at SitePoint, as a paid columnist.

I'll answer the most obvious question straight away: I'm not going to stop writing here. My SitePoint blog is a subject-focused blog covering client-side web development - CSS, Javascript, HTML and their role in modern web site creation. This blog will continue to host my thoughts on other subjects - mainly server-side stuff, but also general programming, web related rants and anything else that strikes my interest. Oh, and bashing Microsoft, naturally ;)

I'm a big fan of strictly subject-driven blogs, so it's going to be fun working on one right from the start. Lambda the Ultimate (programming languages), Column Two (content and knowledge management), the Daily Python-URL and Adrian Holovaty's online journalism blog are all great examples of blogs with a topical focus, and I hope to take my SitePoint blog in a similarly focused direction.

Incidentally, the blogging system at SitePoint has only just been launched and evidently there are still some issues to iron out. I know the site doesn't validate, and I hope to work with SitePoint to resolve some of the other markup and Javascript issues I've spotted. I hope to write up some of the problems and solutions on the blog itself in coming weeks.

European free software advocates, Green Party activists, Socialists, economists, small business owners, and other radicals are working to keep the European Union from instituting U.S.-style software patents. But don't give up hope. The U.S. government and some of the biggest U.S. software vendors are working to bring those backward Europeans into the modern world, where software development can eventually be limited to responsible companies instead of being done by any-old-body with a computer and a good idea.
