I must be crazy but this could mean that there is demand for this little white puppies?

You know, one of the guys in the office, he's late 30's looked at it and said " thats how I want it"

guess they are on to something.

yes that's 110 USD, and that cant possibly be right. if it is, I imagine they will sell very quickly.

I say it's more like 70 000 yen, at least this is what I get in my translation from google. In fact this means a premium of about 15-20% above the "black" one.

I'd like to know how you got google to give that up

. I tried 3 different ways and all I got was ten thousand. So I went to babel fish, and you were right. I narrowed it down to these three pictograms 7万円 which appears to mean(or at least internet shorthand for) 7 ten thousands. Bumme

r, it would have been nice to pick something like this up for ebay prices.

I don't know, my first try with google gave me something like this: "Over-the-counter price of 70,000 yen forecast said. Limited number of 3,000"
I guess I was just lucky.
