Town Sells on eBay for $3.8 Million

You really can get everything on eBay, even your own "Unpopulated 1 House Texas Town."

Gee, I've always wanted one of those.

Albert is not the first town to get sold on eBay, but it's the latest. Just north of San Antonio, Texas, it consists of 13 acres that houses a tavern, a dance hall, a tractor shed, a 3 bedroom house, and a couple peach and pecan orchards. There's no post office and no permanent residents, but it sold for $3.8 million dollars to a bidder from Italy -- which was well over the reserve price which was set at only $2.5 million.

Do you suppose the winner bought it as some kind of over-the-top Christmas gift for somebody? That would be so fun!
