    I posted in a thread a while back about how people were selling parts of the moon. I both laughed and loved the balls of them, lol. :P

    But scammers out there just couldnt stop at the moon (or even other planets) ... alot of sites are now offering you to buy a star. Thats right for €24.99euro you can own your very own star. ... want to name it after a loved one? well you can do that too ( :rolleyes: :pac:)

    thoughts?

    Only distant fading stars are available for purchase.

    Will swap Guttenberg 27481-e8 for anything from the Selleck nebula.
