Library Naming Rights on eBay

February 9, 2006 - 1:50am — Bibliofuture

The Womelsdorf Community Library in Pennsylvania is auctioning off its naming rights "in perpetuity" on eBay. A bid has been placed at $325,000, but that has not met the auction's minimum price tag (the "reserve price"). And before you go and tell the gang at Fark about this, note the all-to-vague "inappropriate name requests will not be accepted" disclaimer. Remember those Jesus bricks?

Not old news

I had seen the old story. I was not posting about the library getting named I was posting because I wanted to know why you would set a minimum bid of $325,000 and also have a reserve. Someone has placed a bid and the auction on eBay is showing the bid is not high enough. It seems odd to me that you would set a minimum bid of $325,000 and then have a reserve above that. Did you read more than the first line of the post I made?

Let's Start A Fund!

How cool would it be to have the LISNews.org Public Library? Or the Blake Carver, er wait, better yet, the Don Saklad Public Library!

Re:Not old news

I wonder what the reserve is then?
