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.

You can use the "save" function to come later

Yeah you can

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or I can reply to your comment and have you receive a notification. Yeah, it's done, I even extracted the images from the document (native res, no scaling).

Haha thanks!

But unfortunately, tone doesn't carry well through text, and may be especially poorly conveyed to someone who isn't a native speaker (which I'm assuming, from your username). My previous comment was meant to be read with an insinuating tone, playing on your use of the term "come".
