A Town For Sale On EBay
26 December 2002 - 7:00am
The town of Bridgeville, CA, is up for sale on EBay, the popular online auction website.
"A big chunk of Bridgeville is on the electronic chopping block, up for bid on the Internet swap shop of eBay: 80-plus acres, a mile and a half or so of riverbank, four cabins, nine houses, one cemetery and one backhoe... There's not a whole lot of town left in Bridgeville, and what there is is a bit of a fixer-upper. Opinion varies on whether the successful bidder would be getting a money pit or a gold mine...After three weeks on the Net, more than 100 anonymous bids had been placed, topping out at just over $357,000.

It's all too easy for projects to claim that they will be successful places, and all too hard to tell ahead of time which ones actually will.
