Or, if they had something to haggle with, they could purchase a more superior brain/memory/etc - and does it need to end there?
Roll up, roll up - heavenly bodies for sale to go with advanced memory-sticks for brains (unless it is your intention to become a blonde heavenly body with a dumb brain - alluring to some, I believe).
Swap your worn out body/brain for a newer upgraded version: Stephen Hawking's brain is on sale - a snip at US$6trillion. That, together with the frame of Jude Law (or the hunk of your choice) at a knock down price of US$5trillion.
Please form an orderly queue here (please leave zimmers in the car park - a label will be provided with your name on it, if you can remember it, so that you can find it later - that is if you will need it after your fabulous purchase)
