> While bids for the Sicilian properties started at 1 euro, Tabbone placed a bid of 5,555 euros for her building. With taxes and fees, she spent 5,900 euros (roughly $6,200) to take ownership of the property.<p>> After seeing the space, she also bought the vacant home next door through a private sale with the owner for 22,000 euros (just over $23,000).<p>So nowhere close to the $1 claimed in the title. It's a decent writeup either way, but why is every bit of online media nowadays obligated to be clickbait?
