Paul McCartney's boyhood home sold in six minutes at auction

A Liverpool home that once housed Paul McCartney's family sold at auction within six minutes at auction. A local "mystery buyer" made the winning bid of £150,000 ($231,156).

The house, at 72 Western Avenue, was home to McCartney, his parents and brother Michael, from 1946 to 1948.

The home is less known than the one at 20 Forthlin Road in Liverpool, which is now on the historic register in Britain. This was the home where Paul and John Lennon occasionally wrote songs and where the early Beatles occasionally rehearsed.
