For Sale: One Country
You never know what you are going to find for sale on eBay. You can buy a straight jacket, bulletproof vest, cedar casket, or voodoo doll, just to name a few. This week you could even buy yourself a country. A disgruntled voter put the country of Belgium on the auction block. He wanted to raise awareness of the power struggle between the French and the Flemmish and how it seems to be tearing the country apart. Bids were up to $14 million before the listing was removed by eBay.
