— A Lake Geneva physician is the proud owner of an airplane that was being sold by an Arkansas county after he was the successful bidder on eBay.

The Washington County, Ark., Sheriff’s Office sold the airplane to family physician Neal Rennick for $55,000 using the popular online auction company, according to a story on www.nwa.com

Rennick wired the county $55,000 Friday for the 1969 Cessna 401A twin-engine airplane, officials told the newspaper.

The county paid $66,000 and traded an older plane in 2003 for the 1969 Cessna to be used to transport prisoners, according to Jay Cantrell, chief deputy at the sheriff’s office.

The county purchased a smaller, more economical plane a couple of years ago.

I left an old formica drop-leaf table by the curb and someone took it. Should I have put it on e-bay?
