Whenever a celebrity tries to sell something expensive on eBay there's always speculation as to motives, but here's a case where it's pretty obvious what the deal is: music producer Scott Storch is short on cash. He's selling his yacht, called "Tiffany," on eBay for well under its $20 million value (per Rolling Stone magazine) because apparently he can't afford to keep it anymore. As of right now it's going for just under $1,000,000. What a deal.
I'm no eBaying expert but I'm not sure it's such a great sales technique to display in big bold letters "THE BOAT IS BEING SOLD UNDER DISTRESS ,OWNER BOUGHT HER AND NOW GOT SHORT ON MONEY." Seems more than a little on the tacky side, and hardly inspires the celebrity "cool" factor that might help it sell for more.
UPDATE: Bidding has ended at $1,000,101, that's a fair amount of cash but not enough to meet the reserve, looks like Storch is going to have to try again.

Althought it's far beyond anything I could ever afford, this looks like a wonderful deal for those with the means.

He waaay overpaid for his fiberglass McYACHT...and any boat over 100ft. should have walkable decking bow to stern.

The boat needs some work. The interior looks outdated.

That yacht does not belong to Scott Storch anymore. He sold it a couple years ago, and bought a 90 foot Sunseeker express coupe that is moored outside his Miami home. M/Y Tiffany is owned by Herman and Gertrude Gross of Ft. Lauderdale, and is documented with the US Coast Guard under their company's name "Toy Store Yacht Group, Inc."
If you ever do find Storch's Sunseeker up for auction, let us know.

Wow.. What an ugly boat! I cannot imagine anyone with this much money having such poor taste. The boat will never sell at, or near the reserve. The market in the 10+ million range has so many tastefully built and decorated yachts. Today's buyers arent the same "new money" idiots that were throwing around money like a few years ago.
