Although the average consumer mostly buys everyday, affordable items, one has to wonder -- is Amazon a marketplace for the rich, too? Does it list special, one-of-a-kind expensive items?
It sure does, and here are nine of them.

1884 S American Silver Morgan Dollar
List Price: $850,000
This 1884 silver dollar carries the prestigious Illinois Set pedigree and is considered to be one of the rarest of its type. It is CAC certified "for its bright luster and incredible detail," according to the listing. It likely stopped being worth just $1 long ago.
It remains to be seen how the Susan B. Anthony silver dollar, which was more widely made, will appreciate over time. Right now, a 1979 uncirculated edition is available for $5.95 at Amazon.

Russian Sable Fur Coat
List Price: $49,000
Prepare for cold weather with a long fur coat, with a hood, made from Russian sable. The coat is tailored to meet your measurements, but the price could change if your size varies from the typical. The manufacturer promises the coat "will be a sign of compliance with your status and image."
If you can't afford quite that much status, Amazon also has the Sable Signature Full-Length Faux Fur Coat available for $599.

Patek Philippe World Time Men's Watch
List Price: $185,000
Need to know in an instant what time it is in Anchorage or Auckland or the Azores while you're firmly planted in Alabama? The Patek Philippe World Time Men's Watch Model depicts the world on its face and shows the time in 24 time zones. It has a platinum case and bracelet and is water-resistant to 30 meters, too. This watch is from the 2017 model year, but the Swiss company has been in business since 1839 and still can repair its oldest watches. Patek Philippe bills itself as the last independent, family-owned watch manufacturer in Geneva.
Interested in a world time watch but at a fraction of the price? Amazon also has the Citizen Watches Men's BX1000-06L Eco-Drive, which displays the world time in 26 time zones. The $301.05 watch has a chestnut brown leather strap with a blue dial, and best of all, you'll never need to change the battery.

Pink Sapphire and Diamond Engagement Ring
List Price: $33,918
Why settle for a simple solitaire diamond when proposing? This ring features a pink, pear-shaped sapphire, 7.9 carats in size, surrounded by diamonds on a thin, white gold band — and makes a statement.
If you like that look but not that price, Amazon has an alternative: a 1-carat, round pink sapphire stone accented by diamonds on the white gold band. By contrast, this ring sells for $1,290.

Stud Diamond Earrings
List Price: Last listed at $75,437
Another stunning example of jewelry, these princess cut diamond are 4 carats in total weight. The SI2-SI3 clarity of the stones makes them less-than-flawless diamonds under standards set by the Gemological Institute of America, but they're still beautiful.
If you're the type who tends to lose an earring, then these might not be ideal for you. Instead, you might consider a nearly 1 carat set of princess cut earrings that are available for $1,390 on Amazon.
Lladro 'Niagara' Chandelier
List Price: $61,000
The Lladro brothers formed their company in Spain in 1953, creating pieces out of porcelain. The "Niagara" chandelier features delicate gold porcelain butterflies hanging from the base.
A simpler Lladro butterfly figurine is listed on Amazon for $158.
Green 72-inch Granite Galapagos Tortoise Statue
List Price: $31,307.99
From Stone Age Creations, this massive statue hand-carved from green granite will give your yard a feel of the tropics. Be warned, though. Once it's delivered, you won't be moving it. It weighs 3,750 pounds.
If you don't have the space on your property or in your budget but love tortoises, Stone Age Creations has something just for you: a 12-inch version that is listed on Amazon for $170.04. The best part is it weighs just 30 pounds, so you can take it with you should you move.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Book of Moon Card
List Price: $900
While a $900 price tag is a bargain compared to other items on this list, keep in mind that amount is for just one card: a Book of Moon from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Champion Pack Game 1 set. It is listed on Amazon as being of "Super Rare" rarity.
If you want more than one card, though, you could consider the lot of 200 Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. It includes five rare cards and 195 commons ones, and the listing says at least 90% of the cards are in near mint or mint condition. The list price is $11.95.
Michael Jordan Framed Autographed Photo, Limited Edition
List Price: $19,999.99
This framed 44-inch by 60-inch photograph was signed by Michael Jordan and depicts him in his prime, wearing a Chicago Bulls uniform and soaring as he goes for a dunk. It is part of a limited edition of 123 and has been certified.
Searching for a more affordable piece of wall art of His Airness? You might like the 30-inch by 40-inch photo of Jordan hitting his iconic shot against the Utah Jazz in 1998 to win the NBA title, transferred to canvas, available on Amazon for $78.99.
Be Mindful of Scams and Fake Items
Amazon is full of apparently good deals — and not-so-good deals — on jewelry, art, collectibles and sports memorabilia, but be aware of scams, especially when you're eyeing expensive items. If a third-party vendor's price seems too good to be true, chances are it is. Do some hard research and fact-checking before you buy.
The Next Best Thing to Buying the Most Expensive Thing on Amazon
Right now, you might just be having a peek at what it's like to be rich and afford the finer things, but maybe one day they'll be within reach. In the meantime, check out a listing that'll make you feel rich without breaking the bank: fake million dollar bills.
