Piece Of Eiffel Tower Goes Up For Sale.
Tuesday, December 16th, 2008When you think of Paris, one of the first things that come to your mind is the beautiful monument know as the Eiffel Tower. The tower has become a global icon of France. It is easily of the most recognizable structures in the world.
When you have sold as many luxury homes as I have, you meet a lot of interesting people along the way. People with all kinds of amazing art, antiques, sporting memorabilia, and other interesting and unique artifacts. One of my previous contacts called me today and told me of an amazing find that he just got his hands on. He said, “Hooman, I know you are one of the best sales and marketing experts I have ever met. I need you to do your magic one more time for me.” He told me that he got his hands on a 25 foot section of the Eiffel Tower’s staircase. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I had just heard of a 9 foot section going for $710,000 dollars. He told me there wasn’t a person more connected and more qualified to move this extraordinary piece of history. I told him to count me in because I have never seen a sales challenge that had me scared. I told him that I would sell it for him on one condition, we donate a portion of the proceeds to a charitable organization of the buyer’s choice. He quickly agreed to my proposal, and now it is show time. Watch me sell this historic artifact. Remember ladies and gentleman, You can achieve anything you believe if you believe in your abilities to make things happen.

The 2.7-metre (nine-foot) high chunk, the third of its kind sold in a year, went to private US buyer after a tense battle between him and another interested party who both placed bids by phone, said Sotheby’s auctioneers.
The spiral section was part of the flight leading from the second to the third levels of the tower. It was scaled by Gustav Eiffel himself at the inauguration in 1889, when the lift was not yet in service.
Some descendents of Eiffel were present at Wednesday’s auction.
“What we are selling is a symbol,” said Cecile Verdier of Sotheby’s Paris. “It’s more than an object, it’s a piece of Paris – of the Eiffel Tower and that’s the stuff of dreams.”
