Welcome to CHEAP, our series about things that are good, but most of all, cheap. CHEAP!

When we started CHEAP, it had a simple premise: finding a great deal, no matter the cost. And, well, we’ve just found the deal to top all deals. Say hello, one and all, to a baby T-Rex skeleton – (arguably) the only one in existence!

Yes, it might set you back $2.95 million, but you’ll be the only person in the world to own one. Surely that’s worth it.

Greetings, tech nerd!

Are you into gadgets? And apps? And other cool tech stuff? Then this weekly newsletter is for you.

So, what sorta specs does this baby T-Rex have then? What can you expect to get? Well, how about a 15 foot (4.57m in real measurements) body? A 21 inch (53.34cm) head? AND serrated teeth? The only thing left to say is WOW.

Does just being the owner of a rare dinosaur skeleton not do it for you, what other reasons are there to buy the baby T-Rex? Well, we have a few:

  • Annoy palaeontologists: A lot of people in the field are pretty vexed about this auction, so buy it just to piss them off even more. Looking at you here, Elon Musk.
  • Try and summon a dinosaur ghost: Me? I’m not one for being haunted by a baby T-Rex – you might feel different though. Buy it.
  • Bury it again to mess with palaeontologists: Put the skeleton somewhere scientists would never expect it to be, like in a cinema or in children’s sand pit. Watch them try and work that one out.
  • Help us hit our affiliate targets: If you actually do buy this baby T-Rex on eBay, we get a tasty slice of that purchase pie. That means I might be bought a couple of drinks and, excitingly, receive some praise. Who doesn’t want that?

So, go on, buy this $2.95 million baby T-Rex skeleton. You won’t regret it.*
