Looking for a unique fixer-upper opportunity? How about a bloody great space station? You may not have considered the unique pleasure of owning five bio-domes (each full of easily hunt-and-kill-able alien species), a bar selling weird alien booze, and even an..erm..auctioneer…but with this gigantic trade and revival station you can have it all!

The only setback? The station doesn’t technically exist -amounting to little more than the set of tables shown above.  Not that this stopped MMO player “Buzz Erik Lightyear” from parting with his cash – $330,000 real, actual dollars in total – to own this Planet Calypso In-Game Hub.
Seems the Calypso developers were happy to offload the rusting space hulk for 3.3Million game dollars-paid for with real money. Giving Lightyear the chance to tax other gamers using his hub until they squeak.God bless interstellar capitalism!
