Someone tried to auction off Norway's Royal Palace for one dollar.

Norway's royal palace ran the risk of being sold cheap on the auction website eBay when a hoax advertisement offered it for one dollar, media reported Thursday.

"Cheap! The royal palace of a young monarchy, just 102 years old, is on sale," the offer read and it had already fetched a bid of 99,999,999 dollars before being taken down Thursday morning.

would anyone in Norway notice?

You know Brussels has some really cool palaces. I'd bid on their Chinese pavillion! And they have a Japanese pagoda. That would be worth a good amount to me!

thinking of Norway, imagine the heating bill on that place? Wouldn't the frugal people of Norway be happy to get that off their tax bill?
