AOL Goes on the Auction Block
Rasmus Auctioneers does asset liquidations when companies move or go bankrupt. I check out their site pretty regularly, though I've never bid in one of their auctions.
This time, however, I may need to make an exception:
"URGENT! Super short notice liquidation of 120 offices. Former AOL Reston offices. Designer offices, admin offices, executive seating, modular workstations, conference rooms, break rooms.... Online Monday."
"URGENT! Super short notice liquidation of complete corporate cafeteria. Former AOL building. Super high end equipment. Full compliment of equipment. SHORT NOTICE opportunity!"
A sad-looking cubicle.
Even though Rasmus says they "conducted the majority of dot com liquidations resulting from the “Dot Bomb” in the mid-Atlantic region," I'm not going to draw any larger inferences from this.
Since they're basically down the street from me, I will take a look and see if I can score a chair or something.

Little by little, AOL is falling apart. I wonder when their journals will cease to be?

Good post. If it looked like they were auctioning Aeron chairs or something, it might be worth a shot. But the halcyon days of the Internet bubble are long gone.
