Eli Manning Oxford residence to hold online estate sale following overwhelming interest
Calling all football fans: Eli Manning's Oxford residence will hold an online estate sale with an item list that includes some of Manning's footballs and artwork, asking up to $100,000.
Initially, the estate sale was going to take place at the site of his Oxford home. However, due to overwhelming response, the estate sale will now take place completely online and over the phone.
Before playing for the New York Giants, Manning, now retired, established his roots as an Ole Miss Rebel, playing for the University of Mississippi football team.
The Manning name is seen dotted on streets and merchandise throughout Oxford, honoring the Giants player and his father, Archie Manning, who preceded his son's legacy as an Ole Miss Rebel.
The Oxford estate was one of multiple homes shared by Manning and his wife Abby McGrew. It is unclear whether the couple will purchase a different Oxford house.
The estate itself has been sold, but the items inside the fully furnished home are up for grab.
When is Eli Manning's estate sale?
The estate sale will take place online at estatesales.net from May 31 to June 3. Pricing will be posted on May 30 at 10 a.m. The sale will end at 4 p.m. June 3.
The sale, like an in-person sale, is first come, first serve. The actual items are currently being relocated to Memphis.
The sale was originally set to take place at the Manning estate. The company in charge of the estate's liquidation is Memphis-based Robison-Finch Estate Sales. Owner of the company, Ken Robison, said last Friday he was expecting a crowd of eager shoppers upward of 4,000 people.
On Tuesday, Robison said he and his team have received such an overwhelming response to the sale, the company has decided to move the sale completely online. This decision was made with the comfort of the shoppers as well as the neighbors in mind.
