Only on eBay: 225 Acre Island near Fiji
I don’t even want to consider what the PayPal fees on this thing will be - but right now a 225 - acre Island is on sale on eBay. The island is part of the Fiji archipelligo, and is surrounded by a huge lagoon.
The island is valued at approximately $25 million - and apparently will be worth $40 million if someone finishes the resort that is being built on it.
From the pictures at the bottom, I learn two things. First - the roofs of the existing structures likely leak. Second - the island has been abandoned.
I was about to put in a $15 million bid, but Aubrey pointed out something important: The internet service there would probably be slow. That - I’m afraid - is a deal breaker for me.

Nice find, that’s sweet. The internet thing for me too would be the deal breaker

Internet is not a deal breaker for me since I currently don’t have it at home … commuting to work (where I do use the Net) would probably be at issue though.
