Mad Dogs spin-off for sale on eBay!
 With Mad Dogs & Englishmen on the brink of closing, the spin-off venture known as Mad Injection seems to be up for sale—on eBay. The posting reads, in part: “Don’t your clients deserve the best? Don’t your new business people deserve to have excitement as part of their pitch? Don’t you deserve to start having fun at work again? Well it can all be a reality—for the right price, baby.” If that’s not enough incentive, they’re also offering “a few nice computers, a stack of unmarked pads and 3 new black markers.” Wow. The “Buy It Now” price is a mere $10 million. (There’s also what eBay calls a “hidden reserve price” in effect, but don’t let that scare you off.) It’s a 10-day listing, starting today. So if you want Mikal Reich and friends working for you, get cracking!

Mad Dogs is (was) a great shop and it stayed indy until the end. I'm just surprised that they never looked to hook up with a bigger agency and offer more resources. there aren't any small accounts anymore. many of them are part of larger conglomerates. the business changed but they never changed with it. i remember when they were a part of KB&P but that fizzled. I really think that they should have looked to merge with another mid-size or small shop years ago. it's too late now to find a buyer interested in some retail clients.
