團購: 美國小鎮只賣78萬抵到爛
十萬美元（約七十八萬港元）在本港或只可買得一間豆腐膶大小的劏房，但在美國卻可能買得到一個小鎮。懷俄明州一個只剩下一位居民的小鎮，最近在網上以底價十萬美元（約七十八萬港元）拍賣。
40萬平方呎 僅一居民
比福德（Buford）位於八十號州際公路旁，是該公路上海拔最高的鎮。小鎮佔地約四十萬平方呎，距懷州首府夏延僅五十公里。鎮上有一幢有三個房間的房屋、一間教堂、一個車房、商店、加油站、郵局、手機訊號塔，以及一所現時用作辦公室、只得一個課室的學校。
鎮上昔日曾有近二千名居民，但自鐵路改道後居民陸續遷出。六十一歲鎮長薩蒙斯（Don Sammons），與家人於八○年從加州搬來落地生根，其後買下小鎮。妻兒相繼去世及搬走後，他成為鎮上唯一居民。他上周把小鎮放上網拍賣，希望這個有百多年歷史的小鎮能夠延續下去。
