TL;DR My country's customs officers seem to have misappropriated 7 buttplugs, 8 Venus ball sets, 3 non-USB penis devices and 7 sets of BDSM straps.

We had a large shipment of illegal sex toys seized in the Czech Republic, and the customs office held an auction with publicly disclosed contents of the package. There were several suspicious amounts. I have a copy of the list:

Not auctioned individually, only as a complete set. 1 CZK ≈ 0.04 USD. Yes, we have words for sex toy but they specifically chose more formal wording.

Item Description of the auctioned item Qty Unit price CZK total
1 Erotic aid - anal jewel, 3 pcs/set 594 300 ($13) 178 200,00 ($7722)
2 Erotic aid case 300 210  ($9) 63 000,00 ($2700)
3 Erotic aid (penis) 40 600 ($25) 24 000,00 ($1000)
4 Electric pump 40 90  ($4) 3 600,00  ($160)
5 Sex aid - straps 193 300 ($13) 57 900,00 ($2509)
6 Erotic aid - anal jewel with tail 99 210  ($9) 20 790,00  ($891)
7 Erotic aid for penis without USB 77 300 ($13) 23 100,00 ($1001)
8 Venus balls 112 300 ($13) 33 600,00 ($1456)
9 Enema 210 120  ($5) 25 200,00 ($1050)
10 Enema with black pouch 30 150  ($7) 4 500,00  ($210)
Total price (CZK) 433 890,00 ($18,315)
Auction start at (CZK) 144 630,00  ($6105)

The goods have been legalized for resale in the EU even though some lack CE certification.

Auction notice including photos (Czech, PDF, 9,74 MiB) / Deep-L's English translation of the document (view in browser) - gets interesting on page 5, or just click the hyperlinked items for extracted images (only 6 seems to have been published)

Above is translation of a Reddit comment I had made here but since overwritten with a power-delete tool.
