I was trying to find an interesting christmas present, when i found this buy an acre of the moon. It all seemed pretty legit and he explained why he has the right to sell the moon. But surely this cant be true can it? If it is, wouldn't this be a great investment or am i just being stupid and this is just for novelty reasons.
Thankyou in advance

It's a legitimate business but also tongue-in-cheek. Any number of irrelevant books and documents are in the Library of Congress. All that means is that the LOC has a copy of the company's list in some form or other. Or in other words, it has a Library of Congress Catalog Classification Number. What you are actually buying is a genuine novelty certificate with no force of law. They also sell real estate on the deeper parts of the ocean floor, and the International Star Registry names distant stars after you, the kind of stars with names like NC 2388 or 76 Fornax. (They even send you a locator chart, in case you inherit an observatory.) But no official agency pays any attention to them.

There is a better gift in the same realm of thought buy a star for your loved one. You really can't buy those things but a nice thought. Maybe a telescope would be a better purchase.

unless he works for the US government then he has to right to sell any part of the moon. It's definitely a con

If you have a vehicle that you can afford to get to you to this supposed acreage of moonland, then go for it. If not, save your money.
