I, like many people, receive the Hammacher Schlemmer catalog in the mail. For the uninitiated, HS is a store that sells outrageously expensive and totally decadent luxury items to buy. Children's battery operated cars for $25,000 is hardly note worthy in this catalog.
In the latest catalog, they are selling a refurbished 1945 PT boat.

Notice the shipping weight.
And the price? $1,000,000. One frickin MILLION dollars
In a catalog!
Oh and shipping is 6% so the grand total is $1,060,000. It does not mention whether gift wrapping is available.
Who exactly would be looking through the HS catalog and decide impulsively, hey, that looks cool. Only a million, let's order it!
I think that is the most expensive single item HS has ever offered.
I wonder if they will get a buyer?
