Source: Player Purchased a Virtual Egg for $69,696.00 USD
--- Quote ---Can you believe that? A virtual Egg can be sold for a stunning $69,696.00 USD. It just happened in Planet Calypso, a MMOG that used to announce the sale of a Space Station for $330,000. Sequence of the Egg sale is as follow:
Jon "NEVERDIE" Jacobs held a public auction Sunday, inside Planet Calypso, and sold the Virtual Egg to David Storey aka Deathifier. Deathifier owns "Treasure Island" in the game, a tax generating Virtual World Destination. NEVERDIE purchased the Virtual Egg for $10,000 USD in 2006 from a gamer who completed a unique quest. The Final Chapter in the Egg's History has yet to be written as thousands of players speculate what will actually hatch from the it and if it will be worth the extraordinary price tag.

$330,000 for a virtual Space Station! $69,696.00 for a virtual Egg! Are they insane?
Melodic:
Dude, that virtual space station had like, leather seats.
And wood trim.
pilsner:
Sigh, Second Life property has gone for substantially more. Paying large amounts of money for intangibles is nothing new.
Ikrik:
I thought that virtual space station was an investment that was going to make the money back. I believe I read that in the kotaku or destructoid comments, can't remember which. If the space station was a source of income the investment seems much more believable. But an egg? Seriously? I wish I had 10k to throw away.
