Ebay
Listed on Ebay was an indoor arena football team from Wheeling that the owners were selling to the highest bidder. I was surprised to hear that this would be a way of selling a semi-pro team. I just had to check this out. The starting bid was $100,000 and they are about 1 hour or so outside of Pittsburgh.
I started thinking of how cool it would be to own a team, even though I don't know much about arena football. It would be fun to create promotions and try new ideas to increase attendance and revenue. Plus, one of the owners was staying on as a consultant and the team already has a great gameplan to follow.
I'm kinda surprised it wasn't go for more money. I don't know what the final bid was, but it only increased about $500 a couple days before the auction ended. I missed my opportunity, but I'll be ready if the Pens go on sale for $100,000!

I had a couple of really strange thoughts about puns and sports and marketing, but luckily I decided not to write them down....
Now don't hold back on our account Lorna. If it wasn't for the strange and unusual, my blog wouldn't exist!

That would be a fun day in our house. I can imagine it now ...
"Honey, we're buying the Pens. We hafta sell all our possessions to get the money together. That'll leave us about $90K short, so, how attached are you to your blood and bone marrow? I mean, you know both of those will come back. And do you really need both kidneys?"
Let me know if you ever see the Swedish bikini team on there...
Happy Thanksgiving Dave!
