Good point. I have not seen the original listing, but IMO all they would have to do is leak it to the press somehow and say "We weren't trying to promote this, but now that it's out..."

It's what rich people would pay for a bigger than that house in an actual city where it's actually worth living.
And where your kid is less likely to grow up to be a serial killer due to the boredom that comes with the isolation of growing up in the fucking woods.

This logic is 100% backwards.

1.) Why the fuck would they jack the price of some house in Ohio that high if it wasn't for the fact that it was Dahmer's house?
2.) Why would they mention that it was Dahmer's house if not to use that fact to jack their price?
3.) why would they not use that fact to jack the price?

Link to the listing. Doesn't mention dahmer. The granite counter tops actually are pretty nice. The rest of the house kind of has a get your face bashed with a crowbar and dumped among the foliage feel though

This is what the real estate agent said...
“Some people are not going to want any part of it. Some people want a part of it. But there have been families that have lived here since that happened. The home has transferred a number of times,” Greco told WJW-TV.

Although now that this is on the Internet, whoever does buy the house will probably have a mild interest in the topic.

upon first read of this. i thought you wrote "I mean...I know there are BLACK people who really like this stuff." and i was like dammn homie! wtf. see how racially conditioned I've become because of this board!!?

[BloodyWishes]

I'm surprised any black folk come to this fucking clan meeting of a board, so many racists and homophobes it's scary. But I digress...

When did Dahmer's parents move out? I thought maybe they just did and were selling till I read "other families have lived there", was this a big deal every time?

[publicenemyno.3]

Probably not, but the goddamned internet came along and now every serial killer or celebrity's home for sale is news.
