Hell, a small town in Michigan about 20 miles northwest of Ann Arbor, has been on the market for about a year. Its five acres of property, which includes at least two commercial buildings, first went on sale on February 13, 2015 -- appropriately, it was Friday the 13th. Despite its eye-catching moniker and the fact that various Hell-themed merchandising rights are included in the deal, Hell has had little success finding a new owner of the underworld. The good news now, if you're in the market for your own personal town to rule: Hell just got cheaper. John Colone, Hell’s unofficial mayor (sorry, Lucifer), dropped the price by $99,666, earlier this week, according to the *[Detroit Free Press](http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2016/03/11/price-hell-michigan/81634638/).* The town was previously in talks to sell to a [Detroit-based arts group](http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2015/02/26/michigan-kickstarter-campaign/24054799/) called Damned, but that plan went to hell in a handbasket as the group fell well short of its fundraising goal, collecting only $77,000. ***Read next:* 6 Crazy Things You Could Do If You Owned Your Own Town** If you're interested in visiting or putting in an offer, you can visit the aptly-named website [GotoHellMI.com](http://www.gotohellmi.com.). Alternately, the site is selling deeds for one square inch of Hell for $6.66 apiece--though because $2 extra is charged for shipping and it winds up costing $8.66, the whole "666" thing is ruined.
