On Singles' Day, a Chinese man bought a two-room apartment for $1.70 near the border to Primorye.
It happened during sales for the holiday, which is celebrated every year on November 11.
The 68 square meter apartment is located on the seventh floor in Hegang City, Heilongjiang Province in northeastern China, on the border with Russia. It is located near the coastal village of Kamen-Rivolov. TB checkpoint is nearby.
The starting price of the apartment in the Alibaba auction was 1 yuan, but the maximum was set at 11 yuan. More than 1.6 thousand people participated in the auction, and the buyer won by being the first to bid the maximum amount.
Despite the symbolic cost of the purchase, the new owner will have to pay an additional $300 in tax on the ownership registration.
Why him and not me?!
$1.7 = 141.22 rubles according to RBC.
