Vick dog fighting site up for auction

The house that was the headquarters for Michael Vick's dogfighting operation is on the auction block again. Motley's Auction and Realty Group is handling the sale of the five-bedroom house in Surry County. The company's Web site says the bidding Friday will start at $590,000. Developer Wilbur Ray Todd Jr. bought the house from Vick for $450,000. At an auction last December, he rejected a bid of$747,000, which is the assessed value of the property for tax purposes. The house was put on the market but remained unsold. Vick, the suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback, is serving a 23-month sentence for a dogfighting conspiracy.
