Arizona "gold mines" for sale on eBay


If you have $20 million laying around, you can click on the "buy it now" button on eBay and pick up the Yellow Jacket and Phoenix "gold mines" in southern Arizona near Arivica.

As of this morning, no one's made an offer. But I do see that eBay changed its offer of 15% cashback if you bought using their MasterCard. The offer today is $25.

There's email traffic in the Arizona mining community raising questions about the title to the mining properties and how much gold the property might hold. So, before sinking your retirement savings into any mining operation, a little due diligence is in order.

The eBay sale ends on Sept. 11
