There's a ship in Eve Online so rare that it's worth $8000. It's so rare there was only supposed to be three in the whole game, and it was thought that nothing could destroy it. This was recently proven wrong, as three became two and one Eve Online player became very, very unhappy.
Thankfully, someone was recording at the time, so we can all watch the very moment that the eight grand he'd invested in a video game went south.
