I remember when one of the house placement land rushes occurred on the server I played on at the time. I had saved up for a Tower deed, and stay up ALL night in preparation. Had friends waiting to camp my spot with me and so forth. I got my spot, got my tower, then a friend of mine told me they were selling on Ebay for $600 to $1,000 depending on the placement and size of house. The Tower being the second largest structure in the game, I ended up selling it two days later for a cool $800.

I was 14 at the time I believe. I used my dad's Paypal account that I had convinced him to get months before, so he had never used it, and then had to explain how I made $800 on the Internet selling virtual goods. My parents insisted I was actually selling drugs for a good month.

Good times.
