Have you seen this yet?

Apparently this guy couldn't sell his house after putting it on the market several times so now he's put it on Ebay for 1 quid!!!!

Well almost - what you get is some pictures of the house by email and you are entered into a prize draw for the house worth ?400,000, which will be drawn by his solicitor apparently. You can buy as many entries as you want improving your chances of winning.

He's hoping for about ?500,000. I looked it up this afternoon and there were 995 left so he must be selling the entries in batches of 1000 and relisting when thats gone. He's sold nearly three hundred since then.

    locally, a couple who tried to raffle their house cancelled it after disappointing sales of tickets

    Not sure how long he has had it on for but he's sold 2000 in the last two days (it has been relisted with 10000 available). It's also in the local newspapers here so it's getting a lot of attention.

    However I would not like to be emailing the photos out to everyone - that could take some time!!
