How many people do you know that can say they own their own town! You don't see properties like this often so I thought I'd share it with you. If you want to own your own zip code, post office, restaurant, gas station, convenience store and owners ranch keep reading.
Wauconda, a small town in eastern Washington is up for auction on eBay. The bidding started at $1 and now the price is up to $370K with two days left.
The property had a price tag over one million dollars when it went up for sale in 2008 but the owners have cut that to $359,000 because of the current real estate market.
