Caribbean Island Goes Up For Sale On eBay
from the who-needs-a-real-estate-agent? dept
First a whole town and now a large Caribbean island. The last privately owned, undeveloped island of the U.S. Virgin Islands is going up for sale on eBay. It seems that if you have some sort of quirky property to sell, the place to go (and to get lots of free publicity) is eBay. I wonder how long that "eBay publicity effect" will last? Clearly, at this point, the story is more focused on the quirkiness of selling the island on eBay instead of just the fact that they're selling the island. Sooner or later the novelty of selling quirky things on eBay has to die down. Right?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
