Cuban's eBay Jet Purchase
Share
Sam Parr shares a story about Mark Cuban making a notable high-value purchase on eBay after selling his company.
"When Cuban sold his company Broadcast.com, he became a billionaire and bought a $50 million Gulfstream jet on eBay. People were freaking out, but it's not even that interesting if you ask me. It's only interesting that it's a big purchase, but a jet - if it's the same model, you kind of know what you're gonna get. The condition is like fair or excellent, that's it."
The story illustrates how even high-value items like private jets can be purchased online, as long as the specifications are standardized and clear.
