Texas ghost town is sold on eBay
Posted by cormac on June 25th, 2008A small, uninhabited town in Texas has been sold on the internet auction site, eBay, to a buyer in Italy for a little over $3m (£1.45m).
The town, called Albert, is about 100km (62 miles) outside San Antonio and features a schoolhouse, a dancehall and a bar. The town’s current owner, Bobby Cave, said he was checking the identity of the buyer, to confirm the deal. He added he had several other serious bids should the sale fall through. Mr Cave, 47, an estate agent, said he sold the land after three-and-a-half years as he was ready to move on to his next project.
