SOURCE - Alwine, Germany now has a new owner. The town, which has a population of 20, was put up for auction. It wasn't exactly a bidding war, though. Only one person was willing to cough up any money and ended up snagging Alwine for $164-thousand-900.
It's unclear at this point what the anonymous buyer is planning on doing with his or her latest purchase or what Alwine's current residents, who are mostly retirees, think about it.
