Israeli city for sale on eBay
PUBLISHED 22 May 2006
Founded in 1878 by Jewish pioneers, Petach Tikvah (“gateway of Hope”) was the first Jewish village in Palestine and later became known as “mother of all settlements.” In 1937 Petach Tikva received the status of a city. Today the number of citizens amounts to around 180 thousand souls.
But, apparently, not all residents are happy with the city. One has put the city on sale on auction website eBay, with initial bids standing at just USD 8.57. The auction ends in five days, however, and the Israeli city could certainly be worth more than that. The current highest bid is standing at USD 127.
The auction for the sale of the city, located near Tel Aviv, was published three days ago, and until now nine bids have been received.
