If selling a home is hard, imagine selling an entire town. Bridgeville - located in California - had tried this for a few years, before turning to eBay with an asking price of $750,000 for the entire desolate town. The first buyer was willing to pay $1.77 million, before checking out Bridgeville and backing out from the deal.
