A hilariously titillating report out of Kansas: State resident Larry Minkoff was seriously behind on taxes, so agents from the Department of Revenue raided his business and confiscated his inventory of sex toys, DVDs, and novelty items. They eventually
negotiated a deal:
In a negotiated arrangement between the state and owner, the merchandise was released back to Minkoff. He subsequently entered into a contract to sell the holdings at public auction and apply the money toward payment of taxes owed the state of Kansas. The contract is with equip-bid.com auction company.
A partial list of the items available:
The online site lists about 400 lots -- individual lots contain can dozens of items -- that include the Pipedream Fantasy Love Swing, books, hundreds of DVDs, sex and drinking games, a wide assortment of sexually oriented equipment, the carrying cases for devices, the Glass Pleasure Wand, bundles of lingerie and the Cyberskin Foot Stroker.
One of the lots contained 50 "premium" vibrators and a Teddy Bear. The bidding was at $10. Also available: two sets of sparkling sequin lounge pants, sizes large and small, as well as the Good Girl, Bad Girl Wrist Cuffs.
Of course, these are hard times in Kansas. With the $300 million tax revenue shortfall created by
Sam Brownback's term as governor, a state's got to do what a state's got to do.
Boy, Brownback's legacy is going to really be ... spicy.
