It really is true that you can find anything for sale on Ebay. Iceland went up for auction Friday on eBay, starting bid is .99. The eBay bidding for Iceland took off with a running start, and the price for Iceland had reach over $17 million with 84 bids before noon on Friday
The eBay description of Iceland is- "Located in the mid-Atlantic ridge in the North Atlantic Ocean, Iceland will provide the winning bidder with -- a habitable environment, Icelandic Horses and admittedly a somewhat sketchy financial situation."
Ebay bidder's questions on interesting some would like to know if insurance against earthquakes or volcanoes is included in the winning eBay price, another eBay bidder wants to know if a C.O.D. payment will be accepted.
Iceland is in need of a bailout due to it's bank failures, the winning eBay bidder just might provide that bailout money so it won't have to come from another country.

Obviously, Ebay must've laid off all there moderators in the UK. I can't believe this sale is still up.

I love some of the questions from the auction :)
