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 AMBack 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.

eBay may not be the biggest online computer user, but they are one
of the larger online businesses, and they are certainly well-known. In
a recent interview with Marty Abbott, eBay’s senior VP of
Technology, eWeek was there to record some interesting statements
about the direction of eBay’s future technological structure.
One of the most interesting items covered in the interview was how
eBay took a disasterous technology setup in 1999 and turned it

Town Sold On eBay Not Really Sold
12/29/2003 04:51 AMEarlier 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.
