Ace Bar Joins Grilled-Cheese Virgin Mary on eBay
Like drinking? (Of course you do.) Like the East Village? (Can't imagine why you wouldn't.) Have a spare $670,000 lying around? (Aha. You knew there was something.) If you answered yes to these three questions, then have we got an eBay auction for you.
Seems the Ace Bar is for sale. And there are no bidders yet.
As we read the eBay ad, you get the business, the lease, and all the fixings — the decorations, the hardware, and a supply of booze and napkins and glasses and straws. The catch seems to be that they won't show anyone the books until you've already won the auction — in other words, you don't actually get to do your due diligence until after you've already committed to buying the place, which doesn't seem particularly diligent.
That said, the donovan20 says spaceman999, who's selling the bar, is an "AAAA++++" seller. So things seem safe.
