It’s been a while since I’ve seen a city up for auction on eBay. These things are always so tough to judge. Should you bid early. Bid late. If you’re like me and are a lazy eBayer - maybe you use the Buy It Now option. If you’re in the market for a city in New Mexico - you’re ship has come in! You can have this 11 parcel , 366.25 acre city for one easy payment of $5,000,000. eBay Mastercard will even let you defer it until January 2009!

The Entire City is up for auction.

You get two motels, gas station, gifts shops, restaurants,
RV-Park, opera house, post office, all dwellings.
You own the ENTIRE CITY!!!

Located at the entrance of Carlsbad Caverns National Park
which boasts more than 500,000 visitors per year.
Great opportunity to own a piece of old west history

Included in the auction are all the assets of the city, which include its water rights for 460 acre-feet of daily potable water usage. This amounts to 150,000,000 gallons per year from its three Artisan wells. As the only source of potable water for nearly 20 miles, this asset is truly significant as it is the life’s blood of the community. Previews are being held July 12 and 13th.
