Fortnite’s Pirate Token has its players scouring the island in every match like hungry kids trying to find Wonka’s golden tickets. Most want the token so that they can claim everything in Fortnite’s store without spending a single V-Buck. One person, however, is hoping to make some real-life cash. Pirate Token Fever Has Taken Fortnite By Storm The Pirate Token is a new item added to Fortnite on Sunday as part of its new One Piece-themed Treasure Hunters season. The tokens are hidden in chests but incredibly hard to find. If you track one down, it can be used to unlock almost everything in the item store for two weeks. To be clear, it’s not a case of having to choose what you like, or even all of those items returning to their virtual shelves after the two weeks have passed. The items are yours to keep, which is why one player claiming to have found a token is hoping someone who hasn’t will be willing to pay big money to take it off their hands. eBay seller nich-12290 has listed their Pirate Token on the auction site, and you’ll have to pay them $9,000 if you want to make it yours. That’s the “buy it now” price - there’s a chance you can get the token for a lot less by simply placing a bid. The bidding starts at $1,500, and although no bids have been placed, the auction will run for another ten days, provided nobody swoops in and coughs up that $9,000 asking price. Is The Pirate Token Worth $9,000? That’s a lot of money for a Pirate Token, even when you take into account what you might get if you have one. It’s difficult to determine whether the token is actually worth $9,000. Some time-consuming math would suggest no, it’s not. It’s difficult to pin down an exact number, but if you were to buy everything in the item store right now, it would cost you around $1,000. What’s available in the store changes every day, but it is rarely a complete overhaul. There will be items that stay in there for days, if not weeks at a time. The One Piece skins and cosmetics headlining the store line-up right now, for example. They’re not going anywhere for a while, which means there won’t be another $1,000 worth of new stuff in the store this time tomorrow. Combine that with the likelihood that those hunting down a Pirate Token likely already have some of the stuff currently available in the Fortnite Store, and while possible, it’s incredibly unlikely that you’re going to get $9,000 worth of cosmetics out of it. The listing is for an entire Fortnite account, too, as the token is non-transferable, so you wouldn’t even be able to flaunt it as your own under your usual handle. The account also comes with 144 skins. Perhaps if they’re rare, that $9,000 price tag will be a little more justified. Probably not, though.
