Don't buy Post Offices over eBay. Yes, Post Offices. More trouble than they're worth, the buggers... Here's the gist of the story so far:

A few years ago, a woman in a small town in Texas put up the general store she owned for sale on eBay. That store just happened to include a US Post Office. A married couple bought the store and started to run the Post Office themselves, despite having no training at all -- something they felt was a bit of a security threat. They claim they asked repeatedly for the training, but no one would return their calls. Postal Service accountants were calling and complaining about the way the couple filled out forms, but since they couldn't get the proper training, they just gave up filling out the forms altogether (or filled them out on an irregular basis). Then, the money orders started showing up. Boxes of 500, good for $1,000 each. The wife wanted to ship them back, but the Postal Service said she couldn't. She eventually hid about a million dollars worth of the money orders in her daughters diaper bag, afraid of what would happen to them. Eventually, since no one was paying attention to them, they decided to force the situation, and had someone purchases $4,500 worth of the money orders with a bogus check... which certainly got them noticed, and shut down the store.

At least, that's the story so far. There isn't very much to support it at the moment, and this certainly sounds like the kind of story that could be easily debunked. Hopefully Snopes will step in at some point and let us know what the scoop is. Until then, it's just another thing to read that makes you go, Huh?
