I am wondering who will ever buy a melon worth US$ 200.00 plus. Mom and I were having a discussion as to whether there is really a difference between the one that costs 21,000 yen and the 5,000 yen…hmmm… we will never know unless we taste it 
In this display, you will see that someone actually bought the 10,000 yen and the 16,000 yen one
And to see it to believe it, there is really a 21,000 yen musk melon for sale! Here is the close up- as you go lower down the display – it gets more expensive

it says 2 for the price of 21,000 yen =). yes, the Japanese do buy these but mainly for gift-giving. i don’t know anyone who has bought one for himself. we were lucky enough to be given one before, although i really couldn’t taste the difference. must be my amateur taste buds =).
Haha!! okay
Still expensive
