Buford is located between Cheyenne and Laramie in southeast Wyoming. An unidentified Vietnamese man placed the winning bid at auction Thursday. As owner of the place along Interstate 80, he will get a gas station and convenience store, a schoolhouse from 1905, a cabin, a garage, 10 acres of land, and a three-bedroom home. The town has had just one inhabitant, [URL="http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Don+Sammons"]Don Sammons[/URL], who served with the U.S. Army in Vietnam in the late 1960s. He plans to retire from his unofficial title as “mayor” of the unincorporated community and write a book about his experiences in Buford. The town traces its origins to the 1860s and the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad.[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/money/wyoming-town-population-sells-900-000-article-1.1056912?localLinksEnabled=false"]Source[/URL]

I could not do that. That is just way too lonely. I need to know that there's somebody around me to get robbed instead of me.

reminds me of my plans to buy an island and found my own nation

Heh, I'm a one hour drive from Buford. Asians have been buying up businesses and land in my town as well.

Unidentified Vietnamese buyer? Obviously it's those god damn communists trying to sink their teeth in beautiful U.S. Soil again.

Once you recruit me, we can found a nation-like your dream-and rule with power. Afterwards I will fly in secret planes at night and let any third world country inhabitants who do not like their land come and join our nation. We can rule with either fear or kindliness, whichever to your liking. By 2020, we should have our own nation of Quarkland. However(unknown to you) during this time I will have already constructed my own secret PMC with the money from our treasury. I will then continue to rid of you in secret, blaming it on "natural causes". Afterwards we can use our connections that we have gained over the years (North Korea,Cuba,and Chad). We can install our forces in the Pacific Ocean and start invading Asia and North America. All powers will eventually fall to us and see us at supreme leaders.(I will still have your head mounted onto a robot, so don't complain about being dead) Oh yeah and this guy must be pretty lonely.

He should rename the town something from an awesome video game.

10 acres of land isn't as much as you guys think it is.

Wait. Does he have his own jurisdiction?

[QUOTE=Craig Willmore;35447318]10 acres of land isn't as much as you guys think it is.[/QUOTE] It's enough for one person. Hell, it's enough for a small community.

Did anyone else click this thread to see if it was Gary who bought it?

This is the biggest waste of money I have ever seen. I own 82 acres and I bought it for around $145,000. That Vietnamese guy got played.
