Golden Palace Buys the Deed to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
18 September 2005

The famous online casino and poker room, GoldenPalace.com, has recently purchased the only existing known deed to the White House. Golden Palace bought the deed via the online auction house eBid.tv for an unbelievable price of only $43.45!

Apparently the story of how Golden Palace ended up acquiring the deed to the White House through eBid.tv began with David Jenneson. Jenneson was in the midst of conducting research for his future book “Night of the Realtors” - which is about a Canadian realtor who sells the White House - when Jenneson discovered the United States Government had no deed recording the property ownership of the White House.

According to his eBid page, Jenneson contacted the U.S. National Gambling News Archives in regards to the deed, by sending them a written request. After two months of searching, a letter was sent to Jenneson concluding that the Gambling News Archives office could find no deed for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Following this discovery, Jenneson went through a lot of legal survey and analysis, and was finally able to obtain the only existing known deed to the White House. After acquiring the deed, Jenneson put it on his eBid page, which was found by Golden Palace.

Golden Palace is known for its reputation of acquiring exceptional, rare and bizarre items from online auctions. For instance, Golden Palace is the proud owner of Britney Spears’ Pregnancy Test, Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese and the previously owned VW Golf of Pope Benedict XVI. Thus, the idea of obtaining the deed to the White House via an online auction was like candy for the attention grabbing online casino.

With all of the many items they have won from online eBay auctions that have given them worldwide publicity, and now that they are the proud owners of the only existing deed to the most famous address in America, it makes you wonder -what could they possibly buy next!
