"A big chunk of Bridgeville is on the electronic chopping block, up for bid on the Internet swap shop of eBay: 80-plus acres, a mile and a half or so of riverbank, four cabins, nine houses, one cemetery and one backhoe... There's not a whole lot of town left in Bridgeville, and what there is is a bit of a fixer-upper. Opinion varies on whether the successful bidder would be getting a money pit or a gold mine...After three weeks on the Net, more than 100 anonymous bids had been placed, topping out at just over $357,000.
