Yes, I am for sale (and, for the record, yes, FU does sound simple enough).

However, I don't come cheap.

The only problem is is postage is still kind of sucky (to where I am at least, not sure if it is similar to you)

"The price was right and I bought it," Andreas Apostolopoulos, CEO of Triple Properties Inc., said Thursday after his $583,000 (all figures U.S.) offer for the stadium was accepted earlier this week. "It's not the price you pay to buy it. It's the price you pay to fix and carry it over. That is where the big money is going to go."
Built in 1975 for $55.7 million, the stadium was the former home of the National Football League's Detroit Lions until they moved to Ford Field in 2002. The 80,300-seat Silverdome has largely sat empty since then and with Pontiac, Mich. — about 50 kilometres northwest of Detroit — in the midst of a financial crisis, Fred Leeb, the city's emergency financial manager, said "action had to be taken."

That is so fucking rad! What would you do with a stadium though.

There is a theatre here I'd love to buy but our property prices have not bottomed out, they've just kept on rising to ridiculous heights. .. and I don't have a spare 10mil ( my guess on what I'd need to pay for my dream run down POS )

You mean useful ones? Apparently none whatsoever. (Unemployed for a year and a half.)

However I am good looking and my dog is beautiful.

problem is though, power supply is different, plus postage.

haha, being that i was an audio student in AUS, i was thinking in terms of microphones and such... but yeah, power supply thing does hinder the variety of items you can purchase. forgot about that
