SARANAC, NY – October 1, 2002– Franwick Industries today refocused the sale of the Missile Silohome that made headlines last month during its debut eBay auction. They were unable to secure a bidder in the past thirty days.
"We know that the right person or company is out there for this property, and we fully expect to sell it on eBay," said Donald Peters of Burnet, Texas, whose company IwillSELLyourSTUFF.com markets high-end products for people on eBay. Were realistic and we know that a multi-million-dollar property may not sell the first time out the gate. We are focusing this auction more on investors who see the income potential that we do with the actual silo."
The beginning auction price is now in the range of upper-middle class families and they added a new twist to the sale – the first bidder gets all the land surrounding the airstrip and an 800sf addition to the chalet home as a bonus if they are declared the winner.
"Response to this property has been so tremendous. The Silohome auction last month received the most visits for any property on eBay in a thirty day period." says Bruce Francisco, co-owner/developer, "This auction has been featured on the Today Show, CNN, TechTV and will also be featured in other upcoming programs. Gregory Gibbons and I have decided to drastically lower the initial bid and reserve prices, and offer some very attractive bonuses to the first few bidders to really get this auction started."
The silohomes above ground chalet features a number of luxurious amenities as well as one-of-a-kind novelties such as the 2,050-foot paved airstrip and a single engine airplane. Hidden below the chalet lies a fully self-contained two-story luxury home that has been remodeled from the old Launch Control Center (LCC). A tunnel from the LLC through two blast doors leads to the 145 by 50 unfinished Missile Silo tube.
This months auction also focuses in on investors and the empty silo, with examples of Timeshares, an Airpark and other investment vehicles. The site includes illustrations of multi-million dollar incomes, demonstrating that these entrepreneurs are seeking bold and ground breaking investors.
We are willing to work with investors and venture capitalists on any one of these proposed projects," said Mr. Francisco, owner of Dreambuilders and www.silohome.com, we know that this could be a very lucrative investment and we just need an angel to help us take it to the next level."
The Missile Silohome auction will run on eBay until 25 October. Only $550k is required to make the initial bid.
