When the battle of B-R5RB happened in Eve online journalists from the real world were fond of quoting the losses of virtual spaceships in real world values - 2-3 hundred thousand dollars were often quoted. How did these numbers get calculated, how can a virtual item have real world value? I set out a few examples of how you can buy virtual, or internet, spaceships for real money, and explain what determines the values.
