How much would you pay for some in-game content? David Storey, aka Deathifier, paid $69,696 Virtual Egg in the MMORPG Planet Calypso. Dropping big money in this virtual world is nothing new for Storey, in 2004 he spent $27,500 for the hunting and mineral rights to “Treasure Island” in Planet Calypso. It is still unknown what will hatch from the Atrox Queen Egg.
Apparently you can make a lot of money in this game. After purchasing “Treasure Island” it is reported that Storey made back his money within the year. Storey purchased the egg from Jon “NEVERDIE” Jacobs, the same Jacobs who made his own crazy purchase back in 2005 when he mortgaged his house to purchase an Asteroid for $100,000. He opened a nightclub named after himself on the asteroid and has since seen the value multiply by 10.
This is the second major purchase of the year for this game as a month ago, “Buzz Eric Lightyear” purchased one of two space stations for the amount of $330,000.
If I had $70,000 to spend, you’d see me on the streets in my new Cadillac Escalade. To each his own I guess. I still feel weird when I spend $1.99 on a Rock Band Track.

wow man thats crazy u would c me in my 2010 corvett Z06 over a egg anyday.
There better be something worthwhile in that egg. However, I doubt that will ever be the case. Fair play to him if he can make a profit on it though.
Buying something you can never touche is crazy.
That's insane.
Touché!!
