- A pair of white Nike Air Force 1 sneakers $110
Released in 1982 as a basketball shoe, the Air Force 1 still sells millions of pairs a year — virtually unchanged in design for four decades.
- A Nintendo Switch Lite console $199
Nintendo has a history of durable hardware: the original Game Boy survived a Gulf War bombing and still works, on display at Nintendo New York.
- A PlayStation 5 console $500
The PS5 sold out so fast at launch during the pandemic that scalper bots became a news story — resale prices briefly doubled the sticker.
- A new Rolex Submariner at retail $10.8K
For years the waiting lists were so long that used Submariners sold above new ones — an inversion almost unheard of in luxury goods.
- A Rolls-Royce Phantom, before options $517K
Each Phantom's 'Starlight Headliner' is hand-threaded with hundreds of fiber-optic stars — buyers can order the exact night sky from a date of their choosing.
- Stan, one of the most complete T. rex skeletons ever found $31.8M
After the record 2020 sale, Stan's whereabouts were a mystery for years — he eventually surfaced as the future star of a new natural history museum in Abu Dhabi.
