However, this particular sale eclipses every other in-game item that has ever sold in a video game. After owning Club Neverdie for several years, Jon Jacobs decided to sell the asteroid space resort in 2010. He sold each section of the location separately, bringing in a total of $635,000. The biggest individual sale was the main section of the asteroid that went for a record $335,000. Jacobs had originally bought the resort in 2008, for $100,000 and made his money back on the investment after just one year of trading. Number Two: Entropia Universe is a unique game-in that was designed from the ground up to allow players to trade property and items, just as in the real world. It has a conversion rate of 10 in-game PEDs to $1, and allows players to withdraw and deposit actual currency into the game, making it a viable way to make a living for some users. Crystal Palace was a popular destination in Entropia Universe and had a sizable income, as the owner could set taxes for players using the station. It sold in 2009, for a price of 3,300,000 PEDs ($330,000) to a user called “Buzz Erik Lightyear” after a bidding war between several players. Number Three: Amsterdam was one of the most popular locations in Second Life, due to several factors. It had an incredibly detailed build, with faithful reproductions of several areas of the real-life Amsterdam, including a canal, train station and a large public square. It also played host to big events that many carried out in the game, such as live concerts and other gatherings, making it a prime location for anyone looking to break into business. However, the biggest attraction to the vast majority of players who visited was the array of shops selling sex toys. With its previous owners looking to create a new adult orientated location, they listed Amsterdam for sale on eBay, where it eventually sold for $50,000. Number Four: The Ethereal Flames Pink War Dog is a courier in Valve’s Dota 2 that sold in a private transaction for $38,000 within a day of the listing going online. Couriers act just as you would expect, they transport loot and other items back to your home-base. This leaves you free to continue to defend your own tower and not have to leave it unattended while taking back the items yourself. Players in Dota 2 can buy a variety of different skins that can drop from special crates that cost real money to open. What makes this particular courier so valuable though, is the fact that it combines several rare features, such as the pink color, the fact it is a war dog and the ethereal flames aesthetic effect. Number Five: The developers for the MMO Age of Wulin held an auction in 2011 to sell a number of different items that would be put into the game when it eventually released in 2013. Most of the items sold for relatively little amounts, while some special pieces of armor and weapons went on to raise just $1,000 each. The biggest selling item though, was the Dragon Slaying Sabre scabbard. The one-of-a-kind sword would not be available to any other players, making it a truly unique item and from the looks of it, highly desirable. The winning bid in the auction ended at 100,000 Yuan, a sum that is roughly $16,000. Number Six: The Echoing Fury Mace was found as loot in Diablo 3 and it was promptly sold through internet forums for a price of just $250. It was then passed between a variety of different players before it again made its way to a public sale. Bidding for the legendary weapon soon escalated, until a high bid of 40 billion gold won, an amount that has a real life value of around $14,000. The high value was due mainly to the rarity of the item and the powerful stats that the weapon had, stats that made it one of the best available in the game. Number Seven: Eve Online is well known for its huge marketplace and player-run economy. Some of the biggest and most expensive ships in the game can easily reach values of between $3,000 and $5,000. One ship though, was worth even more than those Titans were. The Revenant Super Carrier had an in-game value of billions of ISK, a value that can be converted using the PLEX system to $9,000. Unfortunately for the owner, the ship was destroyed shortly after its construction was completed. The reason for the extreme rarity and therefore, the extremely high value, is simply that the Revenant Super Carrier blueprint that is used to build it has a very low drop rate. Since the blueprint is so difficult to beat, this makes the ship so rare that there were only two other ships of the same type in-game, at the time.
