Woman Buys House For $1.75 On EBay [Money Meltdown]
02
Oct
Joanne Smith from Chicago now owns an abandoned home in Saginaw, Michigan, and she only paid $1.75 for it on eBay. Well, there's also $850 in "back taxes and yard cleanup cost," reports MSNBC. Smith says she hasn't seen the house yet or visited the town, but we're thinking hello summer home! Or maybe it's a good place to put the parents when they retire.
The company that auctioned the home wasn't available for comment, so we'll be curious to see whether they try to squirm out of the deal. Like, oh, maybe saying a bunch of Canadianized killer bees moved in.

Dealzmodo: 65-inch 1080p Olevia LCD TV For $2300 [Deals]

Woot's deal of the day is a 65-inch 1080p LCD TV for only $2300. It's Olevia, which isn't the greatest brand—its parent company filed for bankruptcy recently—but it does seem like a decent set for the price. As a very interesting side note, when Charlie wrote up the announcement last year, he made the proclamation that when these are on Woot for 75% off, he'd be all over it. Well, it's on Woot, and it's slightly more than 75% off. Go get'm, Chuck. [Woot - Thanks mjrsynapse!]
