In Reply to: Own a piece of Eminem history? posted by MM on November 23, 2002 at 15:47:14:
It's looking to be more expensive than Eminem's current mansion in Detroit!Kurt Cobain's childhood home went up for auction some time back. According to NME, bids ran up to $40 million. The only legitimate bid was $210,000, or $10,000 over the minimum, and the house ultimately sold for that amount.
The article also says that the owners originally bought the house for about $42,000, not knowing that it was Kurt's childhood home. In 2000 the house was valued at over $50,000. Kurt's bedroom had not been changed since he lived there. Still, I'm puzzled by why anyone would want to buy such a thing ... unless there's demo tapes hidden in them floors?
The sellers of Eminem's house could have set the auction up so that only legitimate or pre-cleared bidders could enter (as done with many high-priced charity auction items). Maybe the idea was that listing something like this on ebay (even with the bogus bidders) increases publicity on the item for the "real deal" inquiries afterwards. Looks like the owners got a publicity firm to handle the sale.
