Swain Puts Itself On The E-Auction Block
By
March 20, 2006
Besides a vacation, buyers can get just about anything they want on eBay: Confederate belt buckles, genuine Bunker Hill dirt, and now - $3 million ski resorts.
Swain Ski and Snowboard Resort has added itself to eBay's seemingly endless array of goods.
A carefully worded but descriptive item No. 4434759717 appeared Jan. 20 under the heading: Ski Resort Business for sale. New York State's finest ski & snowboard area.
Harry R. King of Flaum Management Company, Inc., based in Rochester, New York told the IR he is indeed the "hbkingiii" listed by eBay; he is handling sale of the area.
Rochester financier David Flaum was part of a local investment group which acquired the resort for an undisclosed sum in 1998. They poured "hundreds of thousands" of dollars into revitalizing the 50-year-old, 60-acre resort, according to local newspaper reports.
King said a new buyer/bidder would get "everything: land, building, office and restaurant furniture, fixtures, and equipment, snow making/grooming equipment, lifts, vehicles..."
So far, there have been several offers, but King said no agreement to sell has been reached yet.

Dear Harry,
We have heard about your ski resort for sale. We have not decided if this package is for us at this time to add to our portfolio. We will be in contact with you after the christmas season.
