Bill Clinton's boyhood home hawked on eBay

[Champ]

HOPE, Ark. (AP) — For sale: House on corner lot. 950 square feet (88.26 square metres). Once occupied by little boy who became president.

The residence where Bill Clinton lived for three years, starting when he was about five, is up for sale on EBay, with the bidding in one week rising from $45,000 to $105,000 US. The home's owner, now married, is looking for a bigger place. The auction will close April 7.

Clinton was born in Hope on Aug. 19, 1946, and his birthplace home has been turned into a museum. Clinton lived at the 13th Street residence from 1951 to 1953, before moving to Hot Springs.

Johnson said the original floor plan remains intact despite the addition of siding, carpeting and new ceilings. The well-maintained house has three bedrooms, a dining room, kitchen, living room and one bathroom.

5. How about a DU drive to pitch in and buy it

Then have quarterly meetings there to discuss strategy and party? What better icon to represent the people of DU than the birthplace of the big dog himself. Maybe he would even stop by to meet too? How about it? What's a couple hundred grand? About three weeks of a grovelbot drive?
