This is another one of those gift ideas for someone who already has "everything". Buy them their very own space ship! For just $3500 (or best offer), you can give them a truly one-of-a-kind gift. Although it could use some work (the current owner notes that it "[d]oes have a wobble issue at Mach 12 but clears once it hits 15..."), this won't be a large problem for someone who is handy with tools. And it only has "300 million Intergalactic miles" to boot!
Why This Trend Is Growing
