Do you really like going to shows at The Parish?













If so, you may find it particularly interesting that the local music venue is soon to be sold to new owners ... on Ebay. From December 1st to December 10th, the online bidding site where users ordinarily duke it out for antique furniture and Star Wars memorabilia will play host to the sale of one of downtown Austin's most well-known venues.





But why? According to seller and CEO of ATX Brands Doug Guller: because it hasn't been done before. By starting the bidding at $1 on Ebay, Guller claims, "I wanted to offer a fair playing field from the start for music-lovers of all types to own a piece of true music history in the Live Music Capital of the World.”

It's worth noting that just because the bidding for The Parish starts at $1, that in no way makes your average joe with dreams of owning a downtown music venue more likely to win the auction than anybody else. That's just the nature of Ebay, and bidding wars in general. Whoever does end up buying The Parish on Ebay, we hope they'll continue to use the venue to host the high caliber shows we've come to expect from it over these past years. Hell, maybe YOU'LL be the one to win the auction. Happy bidding, y'all.
