Summary
$5,000 Elon Musk “Rookie Cards,” $228 framed S-1 filings and $150 launch-party glow sticks are among SpaceX IPO-themed items now flooding eBay after the company’s June Nasdaq debut.
That surge is tied to post-IPO fan enthusiasm: SpaceX’s market debut drew crowds to Times Square, with supporters in space suits and “Occupy Mars” shirts celebrating the listing.
Prices stretch well beyond typical merch, including $1,400 “Mechazilla” chopsticks, a $1,499 Falcon 9 carbon-fiber skateboard, $340 SpaceX-issued hard hats and $250 employee coffee packs.
Some buyers are paying up, suggesting real demand: souvenir cups linked to the Nasdaq launch party sold for $27 and $56, another stock-branded cup fetched $28, and a SpaceX kitchen torch sold for $207.
