Hmm, $9m divided by 386 equals $23,000 AVERAGE retail price. Must be some pretty high end stuff in there.

Finding a gun in Singapore, outside of the army and police
is harder than getting your hands on a stainless steel Patek minute repeater thanks to the laws here. And if you do so, the police will be out in their hundreds looking for you. - SJX

they are looking for an employee who had gone missing since the 26th. ken1
