Their Houston offices are 'consolidating'

aka selling off all their property in an auction. Sad
Worrying times for all concerned.

The address on the auction site corresponds to ADVs

There's more at Anime on DVD now,

Quote:
Hello Internet People.

Yes, ADV has hired Windsor Auctions to get rid of some surplus material, including desks, computer monitors, chairs, etc. The auction is taking place today at our warehouse facility on Sam Houston Hwy in Houston. So if you want a good deal on a telephone headset or filing cabinet, get over there by 6 o’clock. Maybe you can get NewtypeCJ’s old office chair!

When you cut back on staff, you’re going to have extra stuff. We hired an auction house instead of a dump truck, because the stuff still works. Sorry we forgot to tell you guys, but it’s a cash-and-carry auction, so we kept our marketing to the Houston area.

Best,

Chris Oarr
Current ADV Employee

P.S. Mention you heard about it on AoD and receive a free stapler with every purchase.


Looks like it's just downsizing...

Yeah that looks about right. If they were really going down they wouldn't be releasing stuff and would still be in admin hell!

The post on the internet "hello internet people" wouldn't be so flippant either or toungue in cheek as it is. I would come from higher up and not "ADV employee".
