Contests
Covenant Giveaway
Predict the eventual sales price, and the closest will win a bubbleinfo t-shirt and pens, Padres tickets, plus an assorted gift package valued at somewhere under a million dollars!
Easier to Go UP in Price!

Roach Contest
The final guesses are in for the sales price of La Cucharacha, listed for $114,900 - see comments for the list. Six all-cash offers have been submitted so far! BofA will be requesting their 'highest-and-best' offer on Monday, once the listing has been on the MLS for...

Chargers!
Nathan won the contest for Charger playoff tickets, but said he couldn't make it, and to either give the tickets to the second-placer, or do something else with the dough. Let's do something else, so all bubbleinfo participants can benefit. What could we spend a few...
