环球时报特约记者王斯报道 据英国路透社伦敦10日消息：一件“景色优美、野生动物可人，但财政状况需要修理──买主要亲身领取”的拍卖品，10日被放上eBay网站拍卖，那就是：冰岛。
报道称，99便士的底价在10日清晨时分已狂升至1千万英镑。尽管冰岛歌手、国际乐坛巨星比约克并不包括在拍卖品中，但“冰岛”仍吸引了26名匿名人士叫价84次。竞投者发出的问题包括“你有没有火山爆发或地震保险提供？”、“我付的钱会不会被冻结？”和“你接不接受买家在货到时才付款？”等。

As the advert says, it's a "unique opportunity to buy a Northern European country", albeit one in a "somewhat sketchy financial situation".

The auction started at 99p but has already jumped to £10,000,000, which would still be a bit of a bargain, apart from that:
1) Bjork isn't included.
2) The successful bidder must collect in person. (From Croydon, of all places).
The seller and the bidders are having great fun in the question and answer section too:
Q: Would you be willing to sell any bits separately? I've just started a money lending business and I'm told I need a few big geysers.
A: Nice pun. P.S. lend us a tenner?
Q: On average if i chipped (in to ice cubes) this country how many glasses of coke would it fill?
A: Five big ones.
Q: Do you have proof of ownership?
A: Fish.
Q: Do you have it in any other colours than white?
A: How did you want it - in the red?
