Scary that it's now up to $10,600 -- I think hard about bidding on stuff that know about, much less *guess* what's in the box. In the feedback section, the seller has recently purchased a $4000 Tiffany sterling silver set... Interesting.....
In Japan, during the New Year's sale, it's pretty common for the stores to have a "surprise" bag where a bunch of pretty nice items are included (as a way for store to move old inventory, probably). People wait before the stores open for some of the bags -- OF COURSE this is very different from this auction.
