10 RV slots on 1.7 acres, 90 miles east of Amarillo

[tx2sturgis]

I'm thinking this one will sell pretty cheap, opening bid is $5000...and it's not exactly a desirable piece of land...BUT....maybe someone might be interested in something cheap to establish a 'home base' in Texas.

Here is the auction listing:

And here is the google street view...but it's from 2009 so...buyer beware.....

Calling all Texans and wannabes.

Water? I hate it when there is a building falling down  AND no water. Too bad about the bankruptcy, I suppose there will be more of those as we get farther into the economic shutdown.

Nice. Lets all chip in and buy it as a group

Sometimes things work out on these deals...I am living proof of that...the place I live now, I bought at Assiter Auction...pretty cheap.

Yes it needed and still needs work...but I'm getting there. 

I realize this listing is not what we call 'desirable'...but you never know...someone might get it for a few thousand dollars over the opening bid...or less maybe...part of the fun is seeing how much it sells for. 

Then they could park their van or RV there for a few months out of the year...winters in the Texas Panhandle are cold and snowy, but spring and fall are decent. Summers are HOT.

Maybe a tiny home or small mobile home, along with a couple of RV slots would work out for someone....at any rate, I'll be watching.

If I had any money, I would be in.

I want to point out that I've been to a few of these auctions, and the opening bid is not the same thing as a minimum bid.

If the auctioneer is not getting any bidders at the opening level, he (or she) will start reducing the opening bid...I've seen the auctioneer work downwards to $100 for an old commercial building that also had 'issues'...

It is possible that this one might go for less than the 'opening bid'...you never know...

Be aware that there is a minimum of $2500 premium for the auction house or 10% of selling price, whichever is higher.

 

[tx2sturgis]

Yep there are always a few 'gotchas'....so buyer beware....and read all disclosures and disclaimers, including the documents that pertain to the property.

 

[tx2sturgis]

Looks like they have received a bid for...$5000....so it should sell for at least that much...

Probably the guy with cows next door.

I just can't imagine all the demolition work.

 

[tx2sturgis]

It sold for $8500. (plus fees of course)

Not bad, not exactly cheap, but affordable.

I often look at the cheap land offerings on eBay. Tons of cheap land out west, if you're okay without utilities. Nothing in the east. I want a spot in WV mountains where use is unrestricted.

 

[highdesertranger]

I would be very careful with buying land on EBay. there are well documented cases of people selling Gold Claims, that they have no right to sell. buyer beware. Caveat Emptor. highdesertranger

 

[tx2sturgis]

Everyone has his or her own comfort level on ebay....me personally, I would not buy anything over $500...I figure, anything under that is fair game cause it wont cripple my finances to lose that much or less. (Not that I'm looking to throw money away)

The only way I would buy a vehicle or land or anything of worth on ebay is PROVING to myself it is not a scam, such as visiting the place, talking to the seller, or visiting a dealership in person where a car is being sold on ebay...etc etc..

Yeah....buyer beware.

nice area for dark skies as well. i've bought and sold many things from Ebay including selling my old Vanagon...picked the guy up at the Houston, Tx airport he looked it over briefly gave me cash and dropped me off at my crib. never heard anything from him si i guess he made it home
