(FranchisePick.Com) 2007 was a pretty devastating year for both pop’s once-hottest star Britney Spears and franchising’s once-hottest concept, iSold It on eBay.
It appears that these two trainwrecks hope that they can help each other get back on track: by allowing the iSold It drop-off store’s Tarzana, CA franchise to sell Britney’s iSold old outfits on eBay.
Here’s the press release posted by William Fikham (?) on ecommwire. It’s titled:
iSold It Continues to Auction Outfits Worn by Britney Spears
BRITNEY SPEAR’S ASSISTANT CASHING IN ON OLD OUTFITS WORN BY BRITNEY BY SELLING THEM AT ISOLD IT – AN EBAY DROP OFF STORE
The headline seems to imply that it is the assistant - not the performer formerly known as “Hi, my name is Britney S. and I’m an…” Not too plausible sinces she’s STILL BS’s assistant.
In December, they auctioned off a pair of BS’s jeans and a tank top which fetched $700.
The “black lace see through dress,” pictured here, recently sold for $899.78.
According to the press release, “iSold It will continue to auction off an outfit each week building up to the main auction – The Famous Red Dress worn by Britney when she was caught not wearing underwear.”
And you thought 2008 couldn’t possibly get more exciting than 2007!
Worried about authenticity? Don’t be. iSold It promises: “The items come to iSold It from Britney’s personal assistant and are absolutely original.” Plus, they supply 34 photos of the outfit in the wild, in its natural habitat!
WHAT DO YOU THINK? IS BRITNEY SPEARS A GREAT MATCH-UP FOR iSOLD IT ON eBAY… AND VICE-VERSA?

Britney Spears merchandise seem to do really well on eBay and were, in fact, the top selling celebrity merchandise in 2007.
The high demand brought along crooks who chose to take advantage of her and offer authentic items stolen directly from the pop-wreck herself.
The word on the street is that iSold It hooked up with an ex-assistant of Britney who “inherited” all these items over time and is now cashing out on the deal.
Right? / Wrong? I’ll leave that for you to say…
