Another buyer backs out of a deal.
The deal seemed like a dream, 20 competitive bids in a 10 day span, a posh address, and a who's who of neighbors. In a story right out of the front pages of today's economic reality the seller needed the money to pay the mortgage, not quite a short sale but maybe a distressed property.
I'm not sure of all the particulars but the winning bidder simply canceled with a simple written statement "I am awfully sorry but I need to cancel this because of the paying problem".
Even the dead are victims of the economy. When the ebay auction ended the occupied crypt above Marilyn Monroe had apparently sold for a whopping $4,602,100. At roughly 8 feet deep and 3 feet high that is some price/square foot.
I guess Richard will have to stay put for now while the other bidders are given the chance to make good on their bids.

Saturday night I went to summer school, not your typical summer school, but summer school as in Jimmy Buffett's 2009 summer concert SummerZcool.
Never in my wildest imagination did I think I would leave that event with a better understanding of marketing. That assumption couldn't be further from the truth. Buffett has an amazing ability to connect with his audience. Most of 30 or 40 thousand parrotheads have as much in common with Jimmy and his Coral Reefers as I do with the man on the moon. However Buffett connected with everybody. How did he do this....He Kept it Local.
Every imaginable reference to Chicago was made. He talked and sang about Bars on Belmont Street, Hamburgers at the Billygoat, Surfing Lake Michigan, Tourists from Iowa, Hookers from South Cicero and had people on the Southside of Chicago singing Go Cubs Go.
Much has been said about being the local expert. Buffett has been the king of local for his entire career. I have seen him in numerous places at various points in his career and each time he made me think the city and venue he is playing is special. It is this ability to connect that keeps this 62 year old, who has only had a handful of radio hits one of the highest grossing concerts year in and out.
Local appeal and local information is the key to keeping and attracting loyal parrotheads. Weather its real estate, or entertainment, people also want to feel the connection.
