MORE EBAY MARKETING FROM GOLDEN PALACE
Now it's the naughty kids' pressies
Golden Palace marketers continued to capitalize on their eBay-based marketing over the festive season with the purchase from a Pasadena auctioner of his children's toys - they were too naughty to get them.
Associated Press reported that the latest whacky but highly publicised purchase cost GP a mere $5 300 for the naughty kids' Christmas presents
The Pasadena man who sold the presents said last week that he decided to auction the three Nintendo DS game systems because his sons, ages 9, 11, and 15, had misbehaved. The family’s decision made national headlines, intriguing GoldenPalace.com, casino spokesman Monty Kerr said.
Everyone (other than the Pasadena kids) could benefit from the deal. GP gets another load of mainstream publicity, and the Antigua-based casino agreed to bid on the game systems as long the family promised to donate the proceeds to charity. The family told him it will buy a new heater for its church and do other renovations.
The casino plans to donate the game systems to a needy Houston family.
The father, who has been identified only by his eBay seller name magumbo—2000, could not be reached for comment.
The casino has paid about $108,000 for eBay oddities in just more than a month, such as a cheese sandwich said to bear the Virgin Mary’s image and a cane sold to banish a young boy’s fear of ghosts.
