Black apples worth $7 each aren't worth it for farmers to mass produce them

[post_page_title]New car or two melons[/post_page_title]
Of course, seven bucks for an apple seems like a trifle compared to paying the equivalent of the price of a new car for two melons. At a recent auction in Japan, two Yubari King melons sold for $27,600 – that’s almost $14,000 per melon!

What’s so special about them? Well… Not much, really. They’re said to be sweeter than regular melons, but otherwise we’re not entirely sure why people in Japan are willing to pay so much for them.
