Texas town up for sale on eBay for a minimum bid of $2.5 million
October 31, 2007 (SAN ANTONIO, Texas) - Bobby Cave, owner of a town
called Albert, decided this year to sell. Then a friend mentioned the
online auction site eBay Inc. Now, with the click of a mouse -- and at
least $2.5 million -- Albert could be yours.

After spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to clean up and
restore the 13-acre town about 50 miles north of San Antonio, Cave
said he's ready to move on to his next venture.
"It's a concept. It's one of a kind," said Cave, 47, a real estate
agent. "It's more like a piece of art than it is a real estate
property. That's why eBay sounded so good to us. It's quirky."

Eric Meissner, Cave's friend and co-listing agent, said Albert
qualifies as a town, or at least was once a town, because it used to
have a post office. Albert dates to the late 1800s and is now
unincorporated.

"There is a road sign with a name on it. It's indicative of an area,"
Meissner said. "Just because the post office goes away the town
doesn't go away."
