I just think having a simple private auction without attracting the right parties to the table might not get you the maximum the site could get. Just my thought.

Obviously this is true, but it's arguably the quickest.

If Mark wants to flip it quickly to focus on other projects, getting drawn into a negotiation with commission-earning middlemen and lawyers who probably need to respect some formalized DD process, is probably counter-productive.




Well, here is a thought for you: How sure are you that the next project will be just as big a hit as this one already is?

It may very well be worth milking this one for what it is worth because in my experience one hit does not guarantee a sequel.
