If you are like me you have no time for messing with any fixer-upper. If it is not move in ready then you can just keep the place.

For example, check out any of the abodes at Luxury Real Estate and Homes for Sale - Christie's International Real Estate.

I broke open my piggy bank so I could buy the Woolworth place in NYC, but since it had a bit less than $90,000,000 in it then I will likely stay where I am.

But that's no reason you have to.

And if the offerings on Ebay bore you then check out their other on-line auctions. Van Cliburn's stuff is coming up for auction, so if you need another grand piano to go with the one you have now this might be a chance to pick one up cheap!

(Not bragging here, but I know someone who knows Mr. Cliburn and I have been assured that the piano Van is selling is in absolutely perfect condition.)
