TL;DR My country's customs officers seem to have misappropriated 7 buttplugs, 8 Venus ball sets, 3 non-USB penis devices and 7 sets of BDSM straps.

We had a large shipment of illegal sex toys seized in the Czech Republic, and the customs office held an auction with publicly disclosed contents of the package. There were several suspicious amounts. I have a copy of the list:

Not auctioned individually, only as a complete set. 1 CZK ≈ 0.04 USD. Yes, we have words for sex toy but they specifically chose more formal wording.

Item	Description of the auctioned item	Qty	Unit price	CZK total
1	Erotic aid - anal jewel, 3 pcs/set	594	300 ($13)	178 200,00 ($7722)
2	Erotic aid case	300	210 ($9)	63 000,00 ($2700)
3	Erotic aid (penis)	40	600 ($25)	24 000,00 ($1000)
4	Electric pump	40	90 ($4)	3 600,00 ($160)
5	Sex aid - straps	193	300 ($13)	57 900,00 ($2509)
6	Erotic aid - anal jewel with tail	99	210 ($9)	20 790,00 ($891)
7	Erotic aid for penis without USB	77	300 ($13)	23 100,00 ($1001)
8	Venus balls	112	300 ($13)	33 600,00 ($1456)
9	Enema	210	120 ($5)	25 200,00 ($1050)
10	Enema with black pouch	30	150 ($7)	4 500,00 ($210)
	Total price (CZK)			433 890,00 ($18,315)
	Auction start at (CZK)			144 630,00 ($6105)

The goods have been legalized for resale in the EU even though some lack CE certification.

Auction notice including photos (Czech, PDF, 9,74 MiB) / Deep-L's English translation of the document (view in browser) - gets interesting on page 5, or just click the hyperlinked items for extracted images (only 6 seems to have been published)

Above is translation of a Reddit comment I had made here but since overwritten with a power-delete tool.

60min are over.
We need that information!

For research.

Sorry, there have been tech problems. It's done, I'll just extract and upload the rest of the images from the PDF.

I am kinda curious what about these were illegal. Like, are they particularly shoddy home-made stuff? Just some boring lack of import permits? Does Czechia have strict laws around sex toys?

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Nah, likely just incorrectly declared and the importer failed to respond to a tax evasion fine. The Czech Republic is pretty lax when it comes to regulating such things (heck, even this was allowed). They could be legalized without a CE certificate, just some paper work.

"erotic aid for penis without usb"

This implies the existence of...

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 0 points 7 months ago

I am handicapped, my penis does not have a USB port. I am thankful that there are erotic aids made for people like me.

You can use the "save" function to come later

Yeah you can

Or I can reply to your comment and have you receive a notification. Yeah, it's done, I even extracted the images from the document (native res, no scaling).
