Where better to look for a buyer willing to pay $10,000 for an independent record label—with national distribution!—than Craigslist, the site where a prospective buyer can also pick up an extra endtable or find the cute St. Vincent fan he met on the subway, then turn them into a blog-house outfit that'll burn up the elbo.ws charts?
Record Label For Sale (Indie) with National Distribution in place (Midtown) [Craigslist]

I don't get it. What are they selling, exactly, the back catalogue and the contracts? Must be a pretty bangin' label for $10K.*
*ability to make a profit in desperate times not included
Vice Records is up for sale?!
Hey, that's perfect! Because that's a good way to set the tone for your whole experience running the label: start off by losing $10,000 to get started, and then maybe it won't seem so bad as you continue to lose $10,000 more every few months thereafter, until you ultimately decide to re-sell the label yourself later on Craigslist.
Oh, and Craiglist poster: drop Victory Records' Tony Brummel a line:

Hello,
My apologies for the mass e-mail.
We are looking at purchasing masters, entire catalogs etc.
If you have any interest in such a discussion please get in touch. Feel free to share this message with anyone that you feel may have interest.
Kind Regards,
Tony
Hey, I hear that Gawker Media is willing to pay 10-Large for photoshops...'>by coincidence, Jezebel Records can just close the full circle on this deal.
Synergy, baby.
@DHMBIB: Of course, the post got mangled.
amyway, my larger point was:
1) GM has 10K to spend;
2) C. Montgomery Burns has a nuclear plant to sell;
3) ???
4) Profit!!!
Thanks, I'll be here all week...
