When Hotbar was sold to 180Solutions, the company issued trophies to its employees. They looked like this:
On the plaque, was the inscription: “Remember, You are the best! You’ve made it happen”.
To some, it was a consolation price, since a number of employees were let go after the acquisition.
An eBay listing for one of the trophies reads:
Genuine Hotbar.com acquisition trophy with original Hotbar.com plaque, signed by CEO and founder Oren D.
One of the original golden trophies issued to the victorious Hotbar.com employees, following a phenomenal 5 years of start-up success.Own a piece of WINNER KARMA!!!
It’s sold now… for the lucky number of $66.06. (And a gremlin tells me the buyer was the indefatigable Wayne Porter)
