Whole US town up for sale

[Jazzy]

The town Scenic, South Dakota – once a booming 'wild west' town – is on the market for an asking price of $799,000 (£486,426).



The town comes with 46 acres of land, a post office, a petrol station, a grocery, two empty jails and a pub.



Built at the turn of the 20th century as a railroad stopping point and currently the property of an elderly lady, Scenic has suffered during the economic downturn which has affected the US.



On the market for three years, the price has dropped from $3 million (£1.8m) due to lack of interest from buyers.



The town which has only nine residents is posted on buyscenicsd.com

Let's pool all our money together and buy the town! We can rename it Off Topixville! Any member that doesn't behave or any bots, we can throw them in the jail!
