Just three weeks ago I was enjoying the limelight for being part owner of DE.tv which sold for a record $21,500. Not anymore. Friday the 1st June Surface.tv sold for $27,000 to a buyer called “ Marksmen”.

There is a strong suspicion that the buyer is acting as a broker for Microsoft. The reason for this suspicion is the timing of the sale. Negotiations for the sale of Surface.tv had reached its final stages when Bill Gates revealed Microsoft’s latest computer, the Surface, at the AllthingsD conference.
