from article:

"That deal clinched, Todd's next customer was Pete Sikov, a real estate investor from Seattle, who responded with an unusual story about how he had acquired a bit of legendary rasta singer Jimi Hendrix's childhood home."

i'm not the biggest Jimi Hendrix fan evar, but i'm pretty sure there weren't steel drums in any of his songs.

Is it just me or does it seem like this guy is trading in the wrong direction? Wood-rot and asbestos....

The ball was far more valuable.

If anything this highlights the ridiculous law that is the UIGEA. Will be interesting if he managed to trade up to the buy in for the WSOP Seat.
