Arjun_ShethIt's a concave piece of glass housed in an Aluminium frame used for spinning Tops. And yes, spinning Tops are a thing, and yes people do pay obscene prices for the High End ones made from Exotic materials. The spin-station gives you a pristene surface to spin them on, giving you better times.

TasselhoffNot quite. It is just a simple glass lens that is resting on a machined base. It may look nice, but does it look $84 bucks nice? Personally, I pass especially bc we have an interesting scrap yard close by that specializes in purchasing industrial metals and I have found nifty objects that would convert into a place I could put a glass lens. Not that this necessarily applies to anybody but me, but I am just pointing out that the essential item (the glass lens) is nothing special and the base could be possibly obtained elsewhere for a lot less. However, if one were to like the design...... all power to such person. That what money is for.
