Potential Deal
A friend of my dad's in Vegas is dealing with the death of his own dad and is offering a bunch of stuff for a quick, flat $2,000. I want to help him out, but I don't want to send a mass email about it and annoy the 300+ people on my mailing list. So I thought posting it to this blog would be a good compromise...I spread the word (sort of - I think there are only 4 people who read my blog), but without sending a mass unsolicited email.
Anyway, his dad died and he needs to go to Florida and take care of things, but doesn't have the funds. So he is offering $194,000 in assets for $2,000. However, he needs it to be in cash and right away. Also, the person needs to come pick up the stuff. The lot includes:
-$25,000 estimate Rock Musician Sting signed self portrait called CHECKMATE
-$1200 walnut chess table
-$750 heart cut diamond engagement ring
-$120,000 in rare complete sets baseball cards and superstars: about 200 complete sets in albums with protector sheets in mint condition and about additional 3200 individually in plastic hard card holders of superstars each valued $1 to $20 some Mickey mantles, Willie Mays, Bonds, Sosa, etc etc
-$300 computer and monitor
-$47,000 in www.Intagio.com barter dollars credit balance can be used for airline tickets foreign and domestic, used cars, boats. They are world's largest Barter network.
He says this is a once in lifetime opportunity for someone to have hobby to build up networth. Everything has already been priced (using a Beckett book from around 3-4 years ago)...with complete inventory sheets available on the cards.
So if you happen to be interested, let me know, and I will get you in touch with him.
Update: My dad's friend found a buyer.
