Juicy black watermelon sold for $6,000

$6,000 Densuke Watermelon

One over priced watermelon was bought by a marine products dealers in Japan for $6,125 Friday.  The black Densuke watermelon, grown only on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, was one of a few thousand available each year.

Evidently these watermelons are pretty good because three years ago some other crazy person threw down $3,000 for one.

What would you do with $6,000?  Spend it on the sky rocketing gas prices?
