The town of Bridgeville, California, is for sale for the third time on the online auction site.
"The first town ever auctioned on eBay - and later sold on the online auction site a second time - is back on the market after the hamlet's latest owner committed suicide.
A real estate agent handling the sale confirmed Friday that the tiny northern California town of Bridgeville, population about 30, is on the market for $1.3 million.
The picturesque but dilapidated village on the Van Duzen River gained international notoriety five years ago when its 83 acres were put on the cyber-auction block - the first town ever up for auction on eBay.
The town was once a hub for a local stagecoach route and a stop on the Pony Express. It now includes eight houses, a post office and a cafe."
