Fruits in Japan has always been known to fetch unrealistic high prices on auctions. Just this thursday, a pair of mangoes were auctioned off for 200,000 yen (2,000 USD).
The pair of Japanese mangoes were known as “Eggs of the Sun” for their fiery colour and juicy flesh. A similar pair was sold for 38,000 yen bid last year. So here is a photo of the 200,000 yen mango:
Nonetheless, these mangoes still can’t beat the record of the pair of melons which fetched a record two million yen (19,800 dollars) at auction.

I think its absurd to be paying so much for a fruit. You can buy an entire mango tree for that kind of money.
Even though I never watched Working!! myself (wished I did), I... – 
That is just ridiculous and the picture is amazing xD
Only 200,000? I’ll take 50. And the tree that made them. And the land it’s on while I’m at it.
I wish… =(
The awesome thing is that they think its tasty but in most tropical countries, we can get those for lik 5 bucks each.
i picked up some mangoes from morisons the other day =D 95p. good old british economy
Oh wow. xD
But like you said, still can’t beat the melons.
It’s funny, since a few days ago, a friend was joking and saying how saggy eyes (you know what I mean) are like mangoes..
that is probably the sexiest mango i’ve seen but I wouldn’t pay so much for it!
Those better be mangos from heaven or something.
