At $102.50 (its current bid) it is overpriced. Given that the average
cubic meter of space contains a few hydrogen atoms, which is
essentially worthless, and given that the universe is expanding
indefinitely, and thus is for all practical purposes infinite, when you
divide zero by infinity, you get zero as the proper value of the
universe. The certificate itself may have artistic or collectible
value, though.
