就是昨天开始的yard sale.
没听清楚王子是哪里的 ～ 应该是中东？非洲？
据说是整个家族被人赶走了，没钱了，只能yard sale 处理家私了。
卖的是限量版本特利 兰博基尼 法拉利
我是早就听说中东（或者非洲）那些王子、皇亲贵族很有钱
但是还没联想到 yard sale 这一码，
真挺好玩的。
我记得南加的Newport Beach / Laguna Beach，
那时候我能连续看到3-4辆 本特利 呼呼而去
那个地带, 相当affluent
Anyway, 这些车子，在美国是$10万-$30万不等。
$30万在小地方能买个正经house；
在南加某些地带，也能买个foreclosure的房子了，再拾掇拾掇，蛮不错的了。
刚查了一下，在国内，这些车子至少都是￥300万，
换成美刀，一下就上到了$50万。
