Chapter 7: eBay

Founded in 1995, eBay has become one of the premier web destinations and one of the go-to places to buy and sell goods you can't get elsewhere; it's helped change the way people shop on the Internet. Along the way, people have gotten scammed and conned, but user confidence has also grown tremendously thanks to new buyer protection rules.With these new buyer protection rules, extremely wealthy entrepreneurs, businessmen, actors, and musicians have sought to this site to purchase many extremely-priced items. UK artist Tinie Tempah spent $37,000 on a pair of limited-edition Nike Air-Mags. In addition, other various high-priced items are Bandai stadium events($41,00), Barry Bonds 715th home run ball($220,100), Zagami martian meteorite($450,000), Samuel Allsopp's Arctic Ale Circa 1852($03,300), 2003 Enzo Ferrari($650,000), 1909 Honus Wagner baseball card($1.265 million), Albert, Texas($2.5 million), lunch with Warren Buffett($2.63 million), Gulfstream II($4.9 million), and Frank Mulder's Gigaacht($168 million).
