If you’ve ever wanted to own a city, now may be your chance.
Someone put the city of Detroit up for sale on eBay, for a whopping $7.50. So far, there’s no bids. Wonder why…
Here’s the listing on eBay:
This is your chance to own a piece of America!

- An honorary Detroit Pistons championship ring from 2004
- That cool Chrysler commercial with Eminem

- The 1,297th ranked educational system in America
- Justin Verlander
- Unlimited use of the phrase, “Detroit Muscle”

Obviously, this is a joke, but ya gotta admit, it’s good.
The seller issued a warning, however: “Highly damaged, missing residents and defective infrastructure.”
Unfortunately, eBay notes: “This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing.”
Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up…
