In this episode, the hosts dive into a truly bizarre business listing—a nonprofit sci-fi and horror museum in California that couldn't make it work but is now selling its collection of assets. The museum's listing even apologizes to potential buyers, admitting their failure. But does the inventory, which includes Star Wars and Star Trek memorabilia, justify the asking price? The crew discusses the challenges of turning failed nonprofit assets into a viable business, the surprising cost of niche collections, and whether this deal is just another bad sequel in the world of business acquisitions.
