I can't believe a whole new "economy" has been created with a video game.  People are paying 10-15 bucks for a "digital" car that has custom paint and installed "mods".  I can't believe what the gaming world has come to, lol.  There are a bunch of completed auctions -- admittedly neat cars -- but dayum...

If you're shocked by an economy springing up around a video game, obviously you're completely oblivious to the MMO world. :D

I know people there that went six months without a job and supported themselves by playing EQ all day long and selling their characters, platinum, and weapons on eBay.
