Why do people spend so much on pixels?

I don't get it either. But what is a complete waste of money to me may not be to someone else I guess.

100 $ you say..

So read this:
64 Year-Old Woman Sues Over Destroyed Virtual Item Worth $28,000

Because some people don't care about throwing away money.

Because i can afford it.

1: Right now the cheapest ★ Flip Knife | Night on the market is selling for $118. You probably could have gotten more. :P
2: You probably could have sold it for keys and bought games cheaper from trusted resellers.
3: People want what others have, and have disposable income with which to buy it. Do I think it's silly? Of course I do, but honestly that sort of demand and hype is what keeps games like TF2 alive and able to use a free-to-play model.

Because they can afford it and feel like it?

Moreover, I find really laughable that you spent some of that money to buy the "new" COD, but I never complained in a thread.

Their money, their choice.

I find it utterly stupid too, but I have already made around 6 euros by selling Winter offensive chests and I like it. I have also bought some stuff with this money during the sale and I am cool with it.

Same reason you have to wonder why someone would pay six figures for a Volkswagen bus that they made like 400,000 of. It happens, though. Pretty frequently.

When scarcity (real or perceived) meets demand meets impulse.

I wonder that myself sometimes. Then again, if I had that cash to throw away, I might do the same.

For starters you buy some pixel keys so.. there you go.

I like the comments on your profile.

People want to spend money on pixels? Im fine with that.

PS: Over 700 items sold on market.

How about if I take your hobby or something you like and collect and call it silly? Or you think certain hobbies are superior to others? Or even that some people who has the money to spend, spend it.

Since that money is in your Steam wallet you will buy a collection of pixels called games with that money you got from selling that item.

Why do people do anything? If you enjoy something you invest time and money and fuck the rest.

so then what about this ? http://mygaming.co.za/news/news/59989-r389000-for-a-dota-2-courier.html

Why people spend money on pixels?
Why people buy COD is a better question :)

You've just made a quick hundred bucks off these kinds of people. :D

Collecting things is a hobby to people, just like playing games, or hiking, or collecting cards or stamps. Rip on a guy for buying a knife that he prob resold in the market for a profit while you went and bought the newest and WORST CoD. la de freaking da.

Why do people spend so much on database records (games on Steam)?

Because Yaks are awesome! :D

So you bought some pixels, won some pixels, sold those pixels, and bought some new pixels.
Why do people spend so much on pixels? I dunno, you tell me.

why do people buy schnitzels?! I mean u eat them and then theyre gone!! just stupid..

also u buying COD?!? srsly??

Because the only difference between monopoly money and real money is people agreeing that real money has value. The same can be said about pixels.
