A thorough industry search has turned up at least one agency that is just thrilled to seedot-coms go bust.

Richard Goldstein and his 3-year-old North Shore Designers specialize in placing ads for auction houses that liquidate the assets of failed dot-coms.

“You can’t believe the stuff these kids bought for themselves,” said Goldstein, who mostly works on 2-inch square newspapers ads and has annual billings of about $1 million. “We’re talking about $1,500 chairs, not just for the executives but for the receptionist and the mailroom.”
