TORTILLA FLAT, Ariz., Dec. 28 (UPI) -- As of Sunday night, no bids were offered for the historic old west town of Tortilla Flat, Ariz., which was being auctioned off on eBay.

Tortilla Flat is in the Superstition Mountains and is the only settlement between Apache Junction and Roosevelt Dam, the Arizona Republic reported Sunday.

A $5.5 million starting bid is sought for the town, which includes a general store, restaurant, a historic ice cream parlor and a post office.

The buyer would also assume the remaining 17 years of a 20-year lease with the U.S. Forest Service, the Republic said.

The realtor handling the sale said the online auction has sparked numerous inquiries but no concrete bids.
