Still 6 hours on the ASC bid... Unless someone bids, I am getting it for $12.00. Will look nice among my other ski lift/ski area stuff.

the ebay descrip., pretty funny

For sale is an ASC Stock Certificate, issued in Dec of 1999, of 100 shares. This company was formed in late 1999 with an IPO of about $18. In spite of great fanfare, intentions, promises and aplomb, the value plummeted like a lead balloon, taking hundreds of thousands of investor dollars to the black abyss. You now have a chance to own a slice of skiing Americana, "An American Dream Gone South". Perfect for a ski-house wall hanging, your skiing memorabilia collection, dartboard background, TP, or starting your next barbeque. Thanks for taking this painful memory off my hands!

What do you mean American dream gone south. The only dream Les had was to the the largest ski area consortium in the world. He achieved that dream and did not come out penniless I have to believe. The only people that came out on the short end are people who invested in Les's dream, and he most likely thanks you.

Well... I doubt very much that the course that ASC ended up on was what Les had envisioned for this company... he may not have ended up penniless, but not sure that making money was his only goal. I would imagine that everything that went down with ASC was heartbreaking.

Well I am the proud owner of 100 shares of stock. :) It will be a nice edition to the collection. I guess that Auctionsniper website is bullshit since it didn't work.

I'll Sell them for $25... LOL!

No I changed the max price to 10.00 Due to my car breaking down... Had to spend 300 euros in towing. and another 200 to 300 to fix it.

Wow I guess the resort industry pays well in Greece. 200 Euros a day in gas and 300 Euros in towing and another 300 in repairs...
Maybe I should come work in Greece.

Excuses excuses! You just saw that it would cost $15 to send as Bill said "a piece of toilet paper" to Greece and thought what the am I doing?!
