An entire Old West Arizona town has been put on eBay with an asking price of $5.5 million! Tortilla Flat, a historic tourist town of splintered-wood buildings and dust is posted on the site, and its listing has logged more than 64,000 hits. Nestled in the Superstition Mountains about 18 miles northeast of Apache Junction, the 1904 town offers prickly pear cactus ice cream, half-pound cowboy burgers and saddle seating at the bar. Dave Levi, 54, who has co-owned the town for five years with his sister and brother-in-law, Pam and Alvin Ross, said he is "getting too old for this stuff." The land on which the town sits is leased from the Tonto National Forest Service. The 20-year, renewable and transferable land lease, now in its third year, is included in the sale.
Here's the link to Ebay:

Tortilla Flats is kind of a cool little town, I've drivin through it MANY times heading down the Apache Trail from Roosevelt, Apache Lake. If you blink once, you've missed it. The resturant does a BOOMING business, people returning from the lakes after a long weekend of water skiing, jet skiing, etc, etc BUT......a WORD OF CAUTION, if ya ever want to know what HADES feels like in summer, that's IT!

I'm with Dennis...I think it has a LOT of potential with so much growth in that part of the Valley, but it is definitely a DESERT location. Will probably go for a very good price.
Let's see...with 1300 members here...that's about $4,600 for each of us.
And Dennis could be the first Mayor!!!!
