Due to the overwhelming success of the recent auction of a small California town on eBay, city council is considering placing Knoxville up for bid on the online auction venue. Citing similar reasons as the previous owner of Bridgeville, CA, rennovation is just too expensive, according to city spokesperson Norm Levy. “Maybe the next owners could afford to fix up this town too. We are trying to contact the losing bidders from the Bridgeville auction to see how much interest there might be. Some of them were rumored to be willing to spend up to $2M, and the town sold for $1.8M in the frenzied closing moments of the auction,” Levy explained.
