World’s most expensive sex toy sells for … 17,000 euros!

Forget the euro crisis, recession, ‘brain drain’ and jihadis possibly heading to Europe — when there’s cash, time, opportunity and … desire, look no further that London-based Coco de Mer’s 18 Gold Plated … vibrator.
Fear not, it goes for a cool 17,000 euros (12,000 UK pounds)
Here’s a description of the very pricey sex toy, straight from the “naughty” site:
“Nell’s form is inspired by the sensual shape of the coco de mer seed and crafted to caress the most intimate contours of your body. This strictly limited edition bedroom treasure is encased in 18 carat gold plate … Nell has five vibration patterns to discover and adore. Each can be experienced at increasing levels of intensity, offering endless opportunities for enjoyable experimentation.”
The vibrator comes in its own wooden box, without thankfully, the “v-word” or other distinctive markings to give away its purpose. Just as importantly, the box locks!
