If you’re looking for the ultimate LEGO set, it might be best to skip this article. Instead, take a moment to enjoy the wonders of the world’s most expensive items. The following five lists include some of life’s most exotic and coveted things, all available for purchase - one by one, on eBay. A 511-carat stone was sold for a staggering $6.5 million in 2006. The singular piece of “fool’s gold” was recently polished, weighing in at 52 carats, and can be found on display in the Smithsonian Institution. The world's most expensive baseball card is the 1873 “$20 Gold” card, which was famously taken into space aboard then ISS commander Bill Shepherd's U.S. Space Shuttle Discovery mission in 1998. It remains the only example of this unique card to have escaped destruction by fire due to an accident during filming of the television series “Space: Above and Beyond". Another example of the space age is the “Apollo 11” Personal Effects Block (PFB). This was a collection of items that were carried aboard the second manned mission to land on the moon and remained untouched until after their owner, Eugene Cernan, passed away in 2000. The Cernan family sold this precious item at auction, and it was successfully reunited with his three children after considerable effort. A more recent piece of space history is the "Virgo" Space Suit Iron Man Statue. It features a metallic blue iron man equipped with a helmet and gloves. This statue was crafted by celebrity artist, Sam Greenwell, and was sold for $5.7 million in 2010. At the opposite end of the spectrum, some people are willing to spend almost any amount on living things. Every year over fifty thousand people choose to legally buy body parts from willing donors. This practice has become an established industry of its own, with stores like Body Modification Central (BMC) selling cadavers for use in illegal medical procedures; the highest bidder takes possession of the body parts desired and pays for them to be used or not used as they see fit. BMC is the only store in London that currently offers human cadavers to the public. The following list includes some of the most expensive works of art ever sold. A famous painting by Pablo Picasso, “Guernica”, was recently listed at $179 million, making it one of the highest priced art auctions ever. When auction house Christie’s (London) held its premier sale in 2003 at their flagship store on New Bond Street in London, this masterpiece was featured as one of the highlights. It attracted high bidding from around the world; 213 bidders were officially registered for this historic event. eccc085e13
