[This auction](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2509186835&category=12) has been around for ages. I always post it to these Ebay threads. A million dollars worth of crap! ---

I was thinking the same thing. > [@](#): > > “THERE ARE MORE THAN A MILLION ITEMS,” she said. “That’s less than $1 each! What a deal.” I think the funniest thing in the auction is her 1955 Nash Rambler, which was stolen several years ago. So basically, she’s selling the title to an unrecoverable car. ---

I used to like [this site](http://www.disturbingauctions.com), but it’s stopped being regularly updated, and all that’s left is the [user-submitted](http://www.disturbingauctions.com/daily/) (forum-style) auctions–there are still some good ones there, though. ---

The high bidder has yet to pick up his [$3000 school bus](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6728&item=2401771690). I wouldn’t be surprised if spyder’s rating drops to -2 soon. ---

Just curious, how is it possible to own or sell an entire town? Do you also own the 60 people that live in the town? ---
