Manhattan Apartments on eBay Spark Bidding Truce

From Scar Jo's snot to entrepreneurial virgins, eBay's got it all! So why not (formerly) valuable NYC apartments? Desperate brokers have now started using the auction website to let online shoppers in on an "amazing opportunity to own in Manhattan." Last year a studio apartment downtown went up on eBay with a price of $529,000, attracting zero interest. But this new offering has at least attracted one bid: $350,000 on an East Village two-bedroom that's priced at $425,000 on the broker's website. (Curbed cynically speculates that the lone eBay bid is merely a fake starter bid placed by the broker himself.) But a second eBay listing for an apartment in Hell's Kitchen, a one bedroom with an asking price of $325,000.00, has thus far received zero bids. With two days left on the auction, there's still plenty of time to jump on this "amazing opportunity" for ownership—or dare we say pwnership? [Via Curbed/Urban Digs.]
