Walt's birthplace for sale on eBay

From MickeyNews:

CHICAGO It may be debatable whether a house recently put up for sale on E-Bay is a cultural landmark. But there is no doubt the North Side Chicago house was home to one very special person.
The four-bedroom, frame house was where Walt Disney was born 105 years ago this week.

The house was posted yesterday (Thursday) on E-Bay by owners Radoje and Barbara Popovic. Bidding starts at 280-thousand dollars for the home, built in 1893 by Disney's father, Elias.

The Popovics, who bought the home for 190-thousand dollars in 2002, say they listed the house on E-Bay because they hope to find a buyer willing to do something special with a building of historical significance.

Born December 5, 1901, Walt Disney lived in the house for four years before the family moved to Marceline, Missouri.

Here's the link to the listing: Walt's house

I'm not really up on market values in Chicago, but I wouldn't pay 1/4 mil for it. I don't care who was born there.

You guys crack me up!

As for pitching in, I've got about 50 cents I can chip in (hey, I just got back from Disney, and I'm lucky to have that much left ) Just make sure to collect it before my next Disney Visa statement comes in.

[iwannabeminnie]

I'll see your 50 cents and raise you 50.

Let me go see what I can find in the sofa cushions

Look under the car seats too. If you come up with more than a dollar that is what I am going to have to do.

[disneyveteran]

No bids yet. That's sad.

Good point Pat! I wonder if they would accept Disney Visa rewards?????

... Or Disney Dollars?!!

Is it any wonder? I mean have you taken a close look at it? If I'm spending $250,000 on a house I'm going to get a little more bang for my buck. I love Disney, but let's be practical here.
