Or in access to them, to be precise. A NYMEx seat sold for $2,000,000 a week ago; that's where the big oil contract trades whose price is quoted on the evening news. A seat on the Kansas City commodity exchange sold for over $100,000 in the past couple days. Meanwhile, a hedge fund has reportedly purchased a few seats on the Chicago Board of Trade, with no intention of using them to trade. I wonder whether those could be leased out.
