Truffle sells for $200,000

HONG KONG: The world’s most expensive truffle was yesterday being prepared for a gourmet dinner in Hong Kong for the three winning bidders who paid $209,000 for it at auction.
The three buyers paid 143,000 euros for the 750gm truffle in a global charity auction on Sunday, breaking all previous records in the annual auction which is often won by Hong Kong bidders.
The three, all property developers, will now bring friends and family to enjoy a sumptuous multi-course meal out of the truffle which will be prepared by Hong Kong’s Ritz-Carlton hotel which hosted the auction.
Six smaller truffles were sold at the auction for another $182,000 and all the proceeds were given to a Hong Kong charity for single mothers. Truffle prices are particularly high this year because of a poor autumn crop in Alba in Italy’s north-western Piedmont region which is famous for producing the world’s best truffles.
-------------------- Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
And the Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, a plumbline. Then said the Lord, behold I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more.
And the high places of Issac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

i never said it was worth 200,000 bucks, more of a response to robotnik saying the nastiest stuff is always the most expensive

ew. no offense my friend. but ew. you should switch careers and invest in the truffle market for sure.
SPECULATION: "Recently we saw crude oil supplies rise to a six-year high. Gasoline stockpiles were at a three-year high. Distillates have come back from a steep deficit to inventory levels that are now above where they were last year. Natural gas inventories reside well above their five-year average.
Yet prices go up and up and up."
"The New York Mercantile Exchange is the preeminent energy futures market in the world. It has become the price-setting mechanism for oil. Even OPEC refers to NYMEX when it sets its price targets."
