Did anyone else read this?
From cnn.com:
STERLING HEIGHTS, Michigan (AP) -- Will a serious bidder for Eminem's former home please stand up?
The 5,000-square-foot colonial with a swimming pool and Jacuzzi went on the Internet auction site eBay last month and drew an initial bid of $600,000.
Someone bid $99.9 million but backed out of the deal, and the next-highest bidder probably will pull out, too, The Detroit News reported Tuesday.
The first suitor told current owner Darren Martens that the bidding got out of hand.
"He said he talked to his bank and they wouldn't let him borrow that much," Martens said.
Eminem lived in the house from 1998-2000, but sold it for $475,000 when kids started stealing his mailbox and leaving M&M candy wrappers on his lawn.
Sorting the offers
Martens said he never took the $99.9 million bid seriously. He said he's also writing off the next-highest bid of $20 million.
"We think we have some real bona fide offers at $2 million," Martens said.
Martens said he put the house up for auction "more or less for a joke" after he heard about another Eminem home in Warren that went up for bid on eBay. That house has drawn bids as high as $11 million.
That is just crazy!!! :shock:
