III a plane with an Arctic explorer
who was telling about how he
bought most of Antartica for
s1.OO from a friend. The guy was
interested, said he owned a re-
frigeration service or something
and wanted to open a branch of
flee. Well, this explorer wound
up by selling off a little parcel,
about 10000 acres of this land
for $1.65. OF course he would pro-
badly have to dig down about
three miles or so through solid
ice to reach this rich acreage,
but it's there! The seller is also
making huge profit on the deal.
So far he has sold $40 worth of
this stuff at the same rate. One
man wants a corner lot with
southern exposure, another wants
to get away from it all.
Deeds have been issued too, the
only catch is that the buyers are
going to have to fight the COM
monwealth of Australia to get
clear title. They have good
chance of winning too because
who has a better right to the
land than the guy who found it?
Anybody interested in real es-
tate?
