Bitcoin Island

[zer0]

This 'island' has been up for sale a few times on ebay and never met the reserve.

Note that this is a 'rush, cash only sale' they claim they have no time to wait for banks that should be a huge red flag.

Here's the real price of that island:

Another huge red flag is this guy used to sell scammy weight loss pills where the bulk of his feedack comes from. Then of course there's this:
"    Follow-up by swabby-ret (May-03-12 10:45):
    YOU SOLD ME A RAT AND ROACH INFESTECONDO ON FOREST CITY RD. YOU ARE A DISGRACE! "

It also claims there are employees there, well you'd better research Nicaraguan laws because you probably have to keep them employed or pay out severence.

You're crazy if you think this is a legit sale and will only cost $127,000.
If you want that cheap (and economic paradise) then look into Ecuador land or North Cyprus

I don't think we've settled on two important preliminary questions: 1) is this (or any) island what we want/need? 2) Is an ebay auction the best way to buy an island?

You're right! This is the best way to buy an island: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=49734.0

I think that's a bit harsh. I don't think anyone had moved past more than musing at the thought of our own island.

EDIT: Actually @BitAvenue seemed to have been seriously considering it

Almost there.

I agree. It's was a good way to gauge interest and introduce possible avenues for property acquisition for a group of community members but I seriously doubt anyone thought this particular sale had a chance of happening.
