For only $405,000 you can own a village in Saxony. That's the bidding price for Liebon, Germany, which is being sold on eBay.
Thrown in with the town of Liebon is a playground, village pond, a small shop, two road signs, and population of eight people. Sounds like a steal!
You'll also own a little piece of history. The township dates back to the year 1321. How much would you pay for it?

I'd pay $400,000 tops - I'd really like to own eight Germans, but the town IS old and probably a fixer upper.
1How cool would it be for a large extended family to chip in and buy it - can you rename it?
2Zezeburg?
3I've found something to invest my 62 million pounds in. I raise stephlet, $400,000.01
4Has the reserve been met?
5hmmm....I'm thinking Zezeville...sounds more quaint, don't you think?
Will I get to be queen? Princess? Duchess? At least Village Council President!
6I like baroness or viscountess - they sound old school.
7I am sure there is some serious problems involving that village. Land is not cheap anywhere in Europe.
8I think this is actually meant as a bit of a joke. It's basically just a family wanting to sell their farm, which happens to make up its own "village" (I guess, hamlet would be a better term really).
9What I find interesting though is that the street sign is bilingual, German and Sorbian. I wonder whether the family is Sorbian as well. I find that culture fascinating.

I'm more interested in the village in England:

I mean, sure, it costs a lot more, but it comes with a grand Edwardian manor house, cricket pavilion and grounds, blacksmith's forge, rectory, shooting grounds, 22 houses and grade 2 listed cottages! (per CNN)
10Oh my KS, the village would be so cool!
11Madchen, if I bought the village/hamlet/farm, I'd want to be known as the Unknown Archont of Liebon, with my own shield and stationery.
