In 2002, Bridgeville, CA made history as the first town sold on Ebay. Apparently, after some renovation, the town is back on sale at Ebay starting today with an opening bid of $1.75 million.
What do you get for that price, you ask? Let's break it down:
- 83 acres
- a vacant machine shop and cafe
- your own zip code
- your own post office (running for 136 years)
- 8 houses
So, what do you do once you own the town? Apparently it's not the thriving place it once was. The realtor gives you lots of suggestions.
- a private or corporate retreat
- a riverfront resort
- a university campus
- a movie set
- a RV park
So, I guess it begs the questions, what would you do with you own town?
I've been here before... no joke. It's gorgeous. I think I stopped to take a pee in the woods.

It is hard to say such a thing is clear.
Significant change, it is.
I saw on the news that the money they dumped at Shire was fake, to represent the money he had raised. It wasn't the actual money.
