Starting Bid? 25 Cents…

Scott Garner — Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

Sez here some dude tried to auction off the distribution rights for his film on eBay (scroll down to the second news item), but was unsuccessful. Kudos for the guy for attempting to push the boundaries of what constitutes a well-thought out distribution plan and, truth be told, someone somewhere was going to try it eventually, but maybe putting your film out there for all the figurine collectors and Russian scammer gangs on eBay to bid on was not the best idea.

Ah well, he failed so you don’t have to.

    Although it says he put it up for 1 million… Maybe if he started the bid a little lower? Oh well, when people are offering “Associate Producer” credits for donations online and others using viral video with online ads to raise money to shoot their film, its no wonder someone tried the ebay front… I think I have seen people putting shares of a film on ebay too…
