Sooooo.....

The inside is nice.  It isn't huge, but it is bright, it has antlers, a chalk wall, and a ping pong table...

And this is what this place looked like in the spring...

According to the bins on the driveway, this place was owned by JCo Junk and they describe themselves as 'Canada's first "Mobile Above Ground Mining Company"'.

Whatever that means.

And from the looks of the website called The Kool Store, 'Canada's First Online Garbage Store', they sold the stuff that they 'mined'.

As recently as this September, they were trying to sell this couch for $75...

But I guess that wasn't panning out so they decided to sell this property.   

Or...

It is doing so well that they needed more space because they are still selling stuff like this chocolate fondue set for $2...

But this place has a 3 car garage and more storage at the back of the building so I don't know why they would need more space.

And I don't know who would buy this as a place to live because being surrounded by autobody shops isn't ideal.

But I guess the price was tempting, or maybe it appealed to an artist, collector, or investor as suggested by the listing.

This place was listed at $399,900.

It sold after 26 days on the market...

For $400,000.
