What do you do whenever your company's concept doesn't quite take off<http://www.usnews.com/blogs/the-inside-job/2008/8/1/video-resumes-are-a-really-bad-move.html>, and you're left with a steady stream of bills and zero profit? Sell out to eBay <http://www.ebay.com/>! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320286495892 That's exactly what Miles Houck, founder of video resume Web site VMploy.com<http://www.vmploy.com/>, has decided to do. He just put the entire company up for sale on eBay<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=320286495892>, including the domain name, Web site, and licenses. The bidding started at $.99. When I last checked, the amount had risen<http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=320286495892>to $305. VMploy's Senior VP of Marketing, Brian Krogstad, said, "We have invested two years refining this concept and customizing the application to introduce this new employment approach. This is an exceptional opportunity for the right buyer that understands the importance of the concept VMploy.com represents as well as the significant growth potential once partnerships are formed with existing online job and professional networking sites." Houck said they're bailing because of an "exciting new venture" that has yet to be announced. What could be more exciting than video resumes? If you're in the market for a video resume company but need more convincing, check out this guy's<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=320286495892>marketing pitch (halfway down), and try to look past the fact that he appears to look like Keith Urban on methamphetamines. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320286495892 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "USITSOFT" group.
