In 2009, Jon Jacobs set a world record for the biggest ever sale of an online item. It was a space station in online sci-fi game Entropia Universe. This month, in the same game, heâs broken that record.

In a single transaction with another player, John Foma Kalun, Jacobs offloaded a mall, a stadium, a club and a ânumber of bio domesâ.
Total bill of sale for all that real estate? A cool USD$335,000.
If youâre wondering why people would bother with that kind of cash in a game thatâs not exactly the worldâs largest MMO, Entropia is a rare beast in that it maintains a consistent exchange rate between its virtual currency and those in the real world. That means anything and everything in Entropia has a very real and, to its players, worthwhile value.
