Massive Pickleball Auction of Pickleball Rocks Inventory

If you’re a pickleball enthusiast or just in the market for some new gear, you might want to check out the online auction happening at Christy’s of Indiana. The entire inventory of the now-defunct business, Pickleball Rocks, is up for grabs, including thousands of paddles, hats, shirts, balls, nets, and more.

The auction is a result of a wide-reaching pickleball investment scam orchestrated by Rodney Grubbs, who convinced hundreds of investors to put their money into his business and real estate ventures. Now, with Grubbs forced into bankruptcy and owing roughly $47 million to his investors, the remaining assets are being liquidated to try and recoup some of the lost funds.

Despite efforts to uncover hidden assets, it seems that Grubbs may have spent everything he had, leaving investors with only a fraction of what they are owed. The sale of assets is expected to generate around $2 million, which means creditors may only see a 3-5% recovery of their money.

For pickleball players looking to score some new gear at a discount, this auction is a great opportunity. And for those following the saga of Rodney Grubbs and Pickleball Rocks, it’s a chance to see how the fallout of a financial scam can impact so many lives. Check out the auction at Christy’s of Indiana and stay tuned for updates on the ongoing investigation into Grubbs’ dealings.
