This is your chance to own a piece of America!
Known for producing some of America's finest automobiles like the Chevy Vega and Ford Pinto, Detroit was once home to a bustling industrial and manufacturing economy.
All it needs now is a little TLC (and approximately 3 trillion dollars). In addition to owning a little slice of Michigan, your purchase of Detroit gets you:
An honorary Detroit Pistons championship ring from 2004 That cool Chrysler commercial with Eminem A statue of Robocop that might get built
The 1,297th ranked educational system in America
Justin Verlander Unlimited use of the phrase, "Detroit Muscle"
The complete catalog of Motown Records albums including Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. You know, 'baby makin' music BUT WAIT....
There's more!

Bid with confidence, folks. This one
Definitely a tear-down.
Howdie Doody alone is worth that.
I'm sure there's over 1,000,000 folks getting gubmint "assistance" in Detroit. And, yes, I'm well aware there aren't that many people there anymore (below 700k).
The bidding got up to $99,000.
Rats and roaches thrown in free.
Well...that was quick! The auction was only up for all of 10 minutes before being pulled by the seller. It does make me wonder, though, looking at the bid history. While there were a bunch of "0" feedback bids, there was one for over $90K from someone whose feedback was over 800...presumably a legitimate account!
Put all city employees and retirees on ObamaCare and privatize everything.
What a funny post. Nothing like American humor!
$20 billion in debt, and the judge won't let the city go into bankruptcy...talk about a mess.
Is there going to be a court-mandated tax increase as a "solution" in the near future?
OMG - for some reason I can’t stop laughing at this photo....so funny!
What he hell was he doing?
“Now I’m gonna innaview the first contes-tant. Right here, honey. What’s your name?” “Name? Uh-” “Hoddaya like that, folks? She don’t remember her name! Hah?Would you buy that for a quarter?” The question was spoken with arch significance, andthe audience shrieked, howled and whistled its appreciation. http://www.scribd.com/doc/23657356/The-Marching-Morons
She’ll be overruled soon. There’s way too much money at stake.
Just shut down Detroit and send the refuges to Chicago.
“My name is Liberalism, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Nuke Detroit and turn it into a self lighting parking lot. It’s far simpler than selling this turd.
99,000? We’re not even in the same ball-park. What would you REALLY take for it? What’s your bottom line?
