Man, I wish I had the money... I could use West Virginia to put my stuff in.

Wow. Right now it only costs a hundred million dollars.

On the other hand, the person running this silly auction has an exceptionally poor grasp of history. West Virginia didn't secede from the Union. In fact, it seceded from Virginia proper in order to remain with the Union during the Civil War.

Isn't $100 million kind of on the expensive side for West Virginia?

::sets hammer to the side:: Ahem.... last listed price was $89,000,300. Which is pretty good if you like rivers nationally classed for WhiteWater, countless ski resorts, dozens of State parks, forests, and game preserves, and a rather cheap cost of living.

Of course, if you thought WVians complained about 'Absentee Ownership' of land before... :roll:
It's already a running joke that most of WV's land and mineral rights are owned by OutOfState businesses.


But, they took it down :) Of course, now they're trying to sell Clarksburg, WV.. going price is $4.00 :roll:

It's OK. My city is owned by Heinz Ketchup, has been known to actively take part in policy before.
