A Northern California town has been sold for nearly $1.8 million on an internet auction site. If the deal goes through as expected, 82 acres of Bridgeville will go to the unidentified buyer who put in a bid for $1,777,877 (£1.1 million) just seconds before the Internet auction closed on Friday. Joe Lapple, who has owned Bridgeville with his wife Elizabeth since 1985, said he hopes the new owner will fix up the town, which dates back to the 19th century. But the Lapples won't be hanging around to find out. They've already purchased a new home in Fortuna, about 25 miles away. Bridgeville is located 260 miles north of San Francisco. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_733717.html?menu=news.quirkies It's true! you can buy anything on eBay!
