ATLANTA —

No bids were submitted during the auction Tuesday for Michael Vick's metro Atlanta mansion.

Tuesday's sale of the three-story house required a minimum bid of $3.2 million.

Channel 2 Action News' Carol Sbarge reported that only two realtors showed up for the auction and both declined to bid on the house.

The proceeds would have helped pay down the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback's debts.

After the auction the real estate agent handling the mansion issued this statement: “We are currently in ongoing negotiations. Because negotiations are still ongoing, we cannot discuss details concerning the sale of the property.”

Throughout the house are the telltale signs of wealth and luxury -- a pool room, a movie theater, an indoor golf range, and assorted-sized statues of black panthers.

It looks like something out of "Gone with the Wind," with a dash of Versailles thrown in for good measure.

The house is s a testament to Vick's rise from the rough streets of Virginia to NFL superstar.

But Vick's career was sacked by a dog fighting scandal. Now he sits behind bars, serving out the remainder of a nearly two-year sentence.
