Iraq for sale on ebay
Iraq: Near-mint country for sale

Description:

Regime free, completely demolished and ready for reconstruction. This country is for auction to a private owner because I just cannot afford paying higher taxes to support the 80-90 billion dollars in reconstruction costs. I will accept money orders only. Please no personal checks. Shipping internationally or domestically is out of the question. Feel free to email me with any questions. BONUS - Iraqi residents come free with purchase of country. Serious bidders only.


Bidding has ended for this item. The seller ended this listing early because the item was lost or broken.

5. Better Bid Now
Hi All,

Did you ever say that "if I had only gotten in on the ground floor, I'd
be rich by today." Well here is your chance to bid for Iraq before it
is too late. This is your one and only opportunity to own a little
piece of Bush's heaven.

7. Thanks for posting this. It's a minor bit of genius...
"the item was lost or broken." How true and tragic that is.
