I was reading the Yahoo News this morning about a woman, Joanne Smith, from Chicago winning a bid for a home on ebay for only $1.75! Can You believe that? The house was an abandoned home in Saginaw, Michigan. According to the article there were 8 bids on this house and she must pay $850 back taxes plus yard clean up. I can't imagine something like this ever happening to me. We sure would have liked to run across a deal like this to flip!

No kidding! That would have been great. I wonder what kind of condition it was in if it only sold for $1.75.

If I saw a house for sale for $2 I wouldn't even buy it, I'd be so sure it was a scam! What a surprise this is!
Wouldn't that be nice? The housing market really must be in a slump.
(I wrote a similar story on my blog as well.)

I wonder how many people started bidding on eBay real estate now since that article came out.
