The 60-foot by 112-foot floor has been sanded and stripped down once since it was originally purchased in 1996.Robbins boasts that more NBA arenas choose its All-Star floor than any other brand. It's motto: "Where NBA Champions Are Made."The floor also comes with a bonus: a 48-foot by 24-foot extension.As of Sunday, there had been no takers for the court, on which CU volleyball teams also did battle.The auction started Friday and runs until June 15.

evanmaldonado Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Some disgustingly rich guy with a large ranch in Colorado has got to make a bid for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect Zero Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Well poop, I only have 4k in my couch cushions. Would have been a bargain too since I'm assuming that it's "like new/never been used." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle Jim Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Let's see, 60 x 112 = 6720 square feet. The bonus part is 48 x 24 = 1152. That makes a total of 7,872 square feet of hardwood flooring. At a cost of $5,000, that comes out to only 64 cents a square foot! We just paid over $7.00 a square foot to have hardwood flooring installed in our house. Couldn't someone take all this and put it in houses for a steal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
