Some fail for typical business reasons, while others go under with a little help from the feds — like VIP Cannabis, which was among the operations raided by the DEA, the IRS and Denver cops in November 2013.

Bids are being accepted until 3 p.m. Thursday, June 4. If you’re interested in buying, click the included links.
