Who said it's hard to buy a house with cash? Even *I* have $1.75

By

Has anyone seen the story in today's news about a house in Saginaw, MI that was sold on eBay for $1.75?  Apparently there's a pending foreclosure and back taxes due on the property.  The buyer has no intentions of moving into the property and hopes to sale it for a profit.  To each it's own - I guess.

I personally think that money would have been better invested at the McDonald's drive thru.

$1.75 plus back atxes, leans, etc that might be the most expensive $1.75 the buyer ever spent.  Wow!
