Trend Watch: Move Out of Your House for the Weekend
There's another Marfan this year willing to give up house and home for the Chinati weekend... if the price is right. Last year was the first time, to our knowledge, that a resident posted their house for rent on the popular auction site eBay. This year, one can rent this nice little 2 bedroom, 2 bath home from Friday through Monday. The bidding starts at a clean grand, and auction is scheduled to end this Tuesday around 11 pm.
[Update: The first auction ended with no bids, but the house has been relisted. This acution ends October 4th at around 10 am. Click here to check it out.]

Bob Wright at the Marfa Realty link has some rental properties.
Thanks, I've seen those before. Are you talking about the properties listed here: http://www.marfarealty.com/propertymanagment-list.htm ?
Are these available for the Chinati weekend only, or does one have to rent for the whole month?
And what are the prices?
Still no bids on the auction, and only 16+ hours to go as I'm writing this.
ALmost as good as this EBAY item.

That aluminum box is a riot. Thanks for the tip.
Also, the house for rent for $1000.00 rec'd no bids at all, and for the record, was viewed 112 times... I'm a bit suprised by this. I thouhgt for sure there would be a last-minute group that didn't feel like staying in Alpine or further.
Mark, I noticed that the relisting was just terminated early. Which, in my book, means that someone probably did rent the house. I think it's a great deal because I'd rather stay in a house than in a hotel room anyday in Marfa.
