Condoms make their first appearance on the auction block: 5,000 Olympic-specific condoms will be auctioned off at a starting price of 1 yuan.
Reported by the People's Network on November 5th, during the Beijing Olympics, 100,000 condoms were placed in the Olympic Village to prevent AIDS and provide backup for athletes participating in the Olympics. By the end of the Olympics, only 5,000 were left, and they were collected by a Beijing Olympic collector. At the upcoming "Celebrating the Return to the Olympic Family - 30 Years Unparalleled Olympic Special Auction" on November 29th, these 5,000 Olympic Village-specific condoms will be put up for auction at a starting price of 1 yuan. This is the first instance of condoms being auctioned off in China.
