Here is a nice selection. Some are even available at modest, 5-figure rates.

Perhaps you're confused and think I'm saying Lana'i should have been taken away from Murdoch - I don't.

          I don't think Ni-ihau should be taken away from the Robinsons.

          I DO think that the Robinsons should only be able to sell it back to the state of Hawaii at fair market value.

You still have not given a good reason why this should be done. Explain why this is okay but buying and selling private islands such as Lana'i or Ni'ihau shouldn't be done.

I think that all of the net neutrality challengers should get together and head over to http://www.privateislandsonline.com/oceania.htm, where they could buy a volcanic island. Perfect for the super villain that has everything except an evil lair!

Once set up, /. readers could petition the local government to allow multi-tiered internet provision and drop all evil enterprises to the bottom of the list, throttling them back to dial up speeds! Mwha, mwha, mwha!!!

This one is within their settlement price and looks a hell of a lot nicer than having to deal with lawyers and talk about Zuckerman.

How much is my vote worth? I can answer that pretty easily...

Give me enough cash to live on comfortably, buy an island of my own where I won't be bothered, enough to bring people I want to visit there, and of course protect against pirates. Anyone know how much an army of ninjas costs?

Everyone has their price - that's mine.

If you have a few million spar http://www.privateislandsonline.com/ then you just have to get it made into a country

And here is what EDS executives got for your 200,000,000

700 Acre Island in Canada, 6.5 million Canadian

700 acres oughta be enough to land an F18.

Depends on where you want to go!
I like NPR's The Savvy Traveler since they usually give really good advice and pearls of wisdom. Here are a few places that I've thought about going: Australia and Brazil

Hey this could be really cool if some people got together and bought their own islands. Imagine the Island Of...

• Slashdot: The holiday 'season' is 1 week in the middle of June, when the entire Island's population pick one resort to visit, usually woefully underequipped to handle such huge numbers of visitors at one time.
  
• AOL: Inhabitants have a universal reputation for stupidity and ignorance throughout the educated world. In some areas of the Island, the populace are crammed into too few homes, often evicted and having to rehome themselves while still happily paying the extortionate taxes.
• Microsoft: All properties are rented by a per-inhabitant rental fee. Island troopers often check in just to make sure they are collecting rent for each and every person in a given house. Also, they will check in if too many modifications are made to the house. Breakins are quite frequent due to the houses insecure construction, but this still does not motivate many inhabitants to move elsewhere. The government is habitually reluctant to address these issues. America's N.S.A has a master key to all houses, but this is not wideley known, and still denied in the face of clear evedence.
• Enron: Formerly a thriving island, and a much sought-after destination due to the government publicising it's virtues. They were lying, the geological surveyors were on the take. The island turned out to be a volcano but by the time the populace knew, it was a bit bloody late...
