The single most expensive thing i have bought in my life. I paid almost $3,000 for this one ounce piece of metal, which would have made sense if it were made of something called rhodium, or if it was made of solid cocaine and was in bermuda, both of which sell for about $3000/ounce. if i had wanted to, i could have taken the same amount of money (¥307,050, in case you're curious) and bought a key made of solid gold four times bigger than the one that i have, which is made from some lame, non-gold material. i move in to my new apartment on the first of the month. i'm sure once i'm there for a while i'll become much less cynical about the whole thing.
