So who will get it?? Ziff-Davis? Univison? Penske? NY Magazine? Or maybe Peter Thiel so that he can wipe himself with it while masturbating frantically??

What do you think would be best and why?

It's weird to think that New York has enough money to buy any other property.

Went Vox. If ZD doesn’t really want Gawker and Jez, it stands to reason they won’t value the whole package as highly.

They don’t but they did show interest in the past... Also with the help of investment funds they could, considering that Gawker is actually a fairly profitable company, it would be a possibility. They would probably be the ones to cut the most heads in the staff to reduce costs though... (because no money)

But they could also split those properties off and sell them later. Which is my worry with something like NY Mag, because they have no use for a car blog.

In that situation, they can do a package bid with another company interested in those properties.

If only Jalopnik could be sold by itself to Penske.

Great, all we need is another outlet for Vox’s diarrhea of the keyboard.

What happens when deceptive clickbait trash collides? A supernova?

Unfortunately, I think Peter Thiel is enough of an asshat, and has enough money, that he’d buy it out of sheer spite , then shut it down, and DMCA anyone that has archives. :(

Vox could be good for Jalopnik and Kotaku since they don’t have a car site, but it wouldn’t look good for Gizmodo or Deadspin, since The Verge and SBNation offer similar content.

How about “Jalopnik - Brought to you by Motor Trend” because I think they’d save Oppo

Unfortunately TEN showed no interest in it... If the”package” gets parted out, they might buy Jalopnik, we never know...
