A Chunk of Mars
No, we’re not kidding. Ever wanted to snap up a
Martian hunk of rock as a present for your loved
one? Want them to really feel like they can
touch the stars (or planet in this case)? A piece of a meteorite which was formed on the red planet crashed landed on earth, and will set you back $450,000 (or £ 294,383).

The Meaning of Life
This isn’t a DVD copy of the extremely clever
Monty Python sketch, unfortunately.
Instead, a seller from North Carolina decided
to sell his information which apparently
discovered the reason for existence.
Unfortunately, neither the seller or the
buyer has released this information to
the public. This immensely important
piece of information sold for a
whopping $3.26 (£2.13)

A Tuscan Village: Pratariccia
The owners of Pratariccia’s real estate decided to end their run of failed selling attempts by offering the village up for auction over the internet
Boasting 25 houses over 20 acres of land,
they eventually found a buyer who paid
$3.1 million (£2,02,797) for it.
Even though they found a buyer, the
village was sold for $1.9 million
(£1,242,951) less than their original
asking price
