A box of apples that costs 1 million yen!?

A box of 28 Esashi Apples was sold at auction in Iwate Prefecture for an astronomical price of 1 million yen (12,130 USD):

That’s over 400 dollars per apple. Of course, these types of apples are not normally sold for such an outrageous price. It was the first auction of the season for these apples, and the winner paid for the prestige of being able to claim ownership of the very first box sold.
