What shocks me is this talk of 'not even real shit'.

ever pay for a movie, book, art, music, etc?

none of that shit is 'real' either.

We are talking about MATERIAL POSSESIONS.

Shit in the virtual world in MMORPGS are not material items.

Shit you buy off the net and recieve vial postal service is cool, but I'd never pay for my friends Chocobo from FFXI

Many thing which most people consider reasonable purchases do not have a 'materially possesable' nature - i.e. a movie u rent or see in a theater, going to a theme park, etc.
How about climbing mount everest (at what - $80k?).
My point was that 'real shit' is a somewhat useless idea when it comes to consumer purchases, and I was supprised at all the people here that took issue with the un-real-ness.
Personally, I don't think it is a good investment, but as was pointed out by others, if it is a choice between investing 10 dollars or investing 100 hours, I think 10 dollars is a wiser choice ....
