* The ''Xtended'' GameMod for ''[[Videogame/{{X}} X3: Terran Conflict]]'' adds the Fuzzico® Fuzzy Dice collection, a series of twelve fuzzy UsefulNotes/{{dice}} which are valued by in-universe collectors. Their price varies from ''negative'' [[WeWillSpendCreditsInTheFuture credits]] to hundreds of thousands on the black market, depending on the color of the dice. In-game however, [[GameplayAndStorySegregation they are worth only two credits]], simply being a BraggingRightsReward. The only way to acquire them is to loot the wrecks of civilian cargo freighters.

It's been decided that Manhua and Manhwa examples shall be placed into their own folders. Moving example to the correct section.


* In ''Manhwa/{{Yureka}}'' the characters have all the money hangups of online gamers, but the technology is ''much'' better (read: More expensive). Add to that the price of Netrooms when a home computer isn't available, it's no wonder most of them can barely afford it.

* Often discussed on ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'' due to the sheer expense of competing on the show. Drag in general can be a ''very'' expensive hobby and it's rare for a queen to make it her full-time career. Most gigs pay next to nothing, and the majority of drag artists have day jobs in addition to performing. While the average local queen who performs every other weekend can get away with frugality (off-the-rack dresses, drug store makeup, costume wigs, etc.), competing on ''Drag Race'' means having to spring for the high-end items, commission designers if necessary, and so on, and many contestants go into debt to gather the necessary components. Competing on the show has gotten so expensive that many talented drag queens have turned down invitations to audition, precisely because they don't have the resources necessary.
