    Hats off to the guy that sold it. Thats one hell of a pitch.
    "Would you like to buy this land that you can only see, not touch?"

    This has been a big deal in MMORPGs, selling virtual stuff like weapons and whatnot.

    a buncha my frends used to sell ther diablo 2 items for like $50 each. by the time they sold everything they had about $2000 in their bank accounts. weird how ppl actually pay real money for game stuff O_o

    It's not weird, people that buy this stuff are retarded addicts that think life revolves around digital data.

    or perhpas they enjoy what they are paying for. i mean im not saying i would spend money on it. but we spend money on games, and dvds and music. we dont actually turn into spys or heroes. so they are just doing the same thing on a larger level.

    That's a waste of money, but then again, if you read this then you'd see that someone spend around $23,000 for a yugioh card -_-'

    $23,000 for just a card?!? Damn...The people bidding on the card must be die-hard fans of the game to spend THAT much money for just a piece of paper...

    But those are material items. A piece of land in an online game is not.

    Heh, that is so stupid. It's just plain ridiculous, IMO. It just goes to show you how greedy some people can be.

    RE: This is nuts...

    Not greedy, obsessed. I'm sure the guy that sold the land didn't have to negotiate much.

    RE: This is nuts...

    i heard about this on another forum, i'll break it down how it was broken down there.
    the guy apparently plans to make money off it, like real estate in real life.
    he bought in bulk, hes gonna spend some time developing or something, then sell or rent out plots.
    hes also planning on charging people to even be on his little piece of property, something about hunting and mining or wutever.

    it was a good move if he can pull it off.
