I have to admit, 61K USD in pure object sales last month.

Correct me if I am wrong, given vending machines and what not, aren't the majority of object sales occuring with payments?

Even if we assume parity, that's about 120K USD in object sales on a monthly basis.

What are people buying? Skins, clothes, weapons - what?

Does anyone know? Does anyone have proof of what they know?

Is purchasing of prostitutes and strippers being put into the spreadsheet? I'm sure Pimps need to manage their profits
