LITTLE ROCK — Property Room’s “Steal of the Day” category is a listing of goods that cost as little as a dollar near the end of bidding. Does nobody want this stuff ? It’s going, going, yawn:
A broken-down wheelchair. For $1, the winning buyer also acquires his choice of how to take possession: Pay $150 shipping, or come and get it - in Los Angeles.
A 36-year-old mobile home in Idaho. Bidders are invited to compete for the right to wreck this hulk for parts and scrap. The seller is throwing in a special perk: free dumping at the local landfill.
An office copy machine that “may require repair.” But then, don’t they all? Wouldn’t it be worth $1 just to take a hammer and beat the blinking daylights out of it?
