淘宝拍卖加油站 689万元成交

Web users bid for 26-hours in an online auction for a Henan gas station on Taobao.com, and a deal was struck at 6.89 million yuan, about four times its expected price, Beijing Youth Daily reported.

The station, on a national highway, attracted 22 potential buyers and was auctioned by a Henan court. A petrochemical company mortgaged the station to a creditor in a legal case.
