Christie's is an Auction House in South Kensington, London which sells all sorts of collectables, antiques, art, wine, furniture etc. I've never actually been (I doubt I will ever have enough money even if I wanted to). But I do occassionally look online at the crazier things they sell. I mean even if you have too much money to spend, would you buy a 17th Century Elephant bird egg? I mean what would you even do with it?
Here's a few of my favourite recent sales..
Fossil Fish for £3,750 - it doesn't even look nice.
They also sold a taxidermy Flamingo for £7,250
A pre-17th century Elephant bird egg for £12,500
A pair of curved Mammoth tusks for £15,000.
A specimen of petrified wood from the Lower Triassic for £1,250.
