I'll take it, I current'y have 200+ dollars I'm going to spend on a guitar, but hey! I want the moon now!

I smell scam. We won't be living on the moon in a practical fashion for quite awhile i bet. I'd say this might make sense 200-300 years down the road.

This is what they posted on their site stating its not a scam

1. How do I know this is not a Scam?

Firstly, we think that skepticism is a good and healthy thing, and we would like to reassure you that this is a reputable site. However, due to the uniqueness of the product on sale here, we will outline our written statement on the history of the product, and detail the origin of selling lunar property.

To begin,  let's explain what the Lunar Embassy is actually doing. Mr. D. Hope has been in the business of selling Lunar Property for over 23 years. In all this time, and more than 2 million customers later (and increasing rapidly), we have never had a single unsatisfied customer, and we are very proud of this track record. Two former US Presidents and several very prominent stars own their Lunar property already. The worldwide press attention the Lunar Embassy is getting is enormous.

If you're still questioning the practice of selling lunar property, we would like to ask you to ask one of the Internet's best known and vigilant consumer watchdog organization called Netcheck. Lunar Embassy is a member of the Netcheck Internet Commerce Bureau. At the site, you can consult our company register, and see if anyone has filed a complaint against Lunar Land or the Lunar Embassy. Furthermore, you cannot become a member of Netcheck unless you conduct a valid business. If you're still skeptical after that, well, we still don't blame you. Selling property on the Moon on the internet must surely be one of the strangest things you've ever come across while web surfing.

i own an acre of the moon, got my certificate to prove it, and i own an acre in the amazon which by law cannot be touched

If hes claiming it under the "1967 UN Outer Space Treaty" then shouldnt he read the bit

Article II
Outer space, including the moon and other celestial bodies, is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means.

seams quite clear cut.
