She will make out big if she bulldozes and plants tomatos.

Old house probably had a leaking septic tank producing extra fertile dirt.

She could by a whole city block in Detroit for about 30 bucks.

"A home is seen Sept. 17, 2008, in Saginaw, Mich.

With a winning bid of just $1.75, a Chicago woman has won an auction for the abandoned home in Saginaw. Joanne Smith, 30, recently was the top bidder for the home during an auction on eBay, The Saginaw News reported, in September 2008. Her bid was one of eight for the home. She must pay about $850 in back taxes and yard cleanup costs.

Well I guess the yard is worth at least 1k $

That's crazy!

xmas13 · 10-01-2008, 04:37 PM

What a rip-off. The property value is negative!

The winning bid of $1.75 wasn't FOR the house. The $1.75 won her the BUYING of the house, which is going to cost at least $1,000.

Then, there's no way to resell it. She'll have to pay yearly fees on it. Eventually, the city will force her to demolish it. Which is going to be very expensive. She basically bought a piece of land for a few grand.
