If someone amasses a fleet of luxurious cars, the last thing you expect them to use it for is to sell apples.

A college senior, surnamed Zhang, at Ningbo University, East China's Zhejiang province, arranged beautifully packed apples on the hood and trunk of an array of luxurious cars, which includes an Aston Martin valued at more than 4,000,000 yuan ($642,519), a Maserati, a Porsche, a Hummer and others to attract consumers.

Zhang said she wanted to do some business before graduation and chose to sell apples around Christmas.

Have more apples than you can give away this Christmas Eve? Perhaps you could trade them in for gold bars…as some people do in our next story.
