Maradona’s auction was a failure in Argentina

Houses, cars, and goods that belonged to the former athlete Diego Armando Maradona, who died on November 25 last year, did not yield the expected results in the online auction of Diego Maradona’s estate, held last Sunday. What is not a failure is the chance to have great profits with the best soccer matches through the best betting software in the market, VIP-IBC.

The initiative was the result of a request by Judge Luciana Tedesco, who indicated the sales to settle debts left by the Argentine soccer star. However, according to the AFP news agency, the auction yielded only $26,000. To get an idea, the unsold assets exceed US$1.4 million.

Among the items, the most eye-catching was a house that the Argentine idol’s parents, dona Tota and don Chitoro, lived in, in the Villa Deboto neighborhood. Two BMWs valued at US$ 390.000 were also auctioned, but had no buyers. One of them even bears the signature of the soccer star on the windshield.

The highest bid was offered on the portrait of Maradona in the painting ‘Entre Fiorito y el cielo’ by artist Lu Sedova, which sold for $2,150. One of the most controversial items, the photo with Fidel Castro was auctioned for $1,600.

Auctions are like that: you can’t know the result before they are over. We expected a lot, but the reality is that [the final result] is always an unknown,” said the organizer, Adrian Mercado.

Unsold items include a house in Buenos Aires, an apartment located in the Mar del Plata resort, a Hyundai van, as well as a Napoli shirt with the number 10 on the back, and a box of Cuban cigars.
