$258,000 for a Gold Calendar

A Jewelry store in Tokyo made a 6 kilogram (13.2lb) calendar out of gold.

1.4' x 2'  and 24K gold with Japanese traditional painting on the back....

It goes for Y30 million = $258,620 plus or minus the exchange rate fluctuations.

Would you pay a quarter of a million dollars for something that will be useless in a year?

The least they could do would be to make the days of the week slide so the calendar would be functional for more than one year.

Oh!! It's for show...NOT for actual sale.

My bet, somebody will buy it.

My dad used to say, put a bucket of manure on the porch and sooner or later somebody will buy it, either because they want the bucket or they want the manure.

What's the most you ever spent on something so impractical?
