Prospective buyers have posed some questions to the seller:

Q: The official price is 1 billion euro, but you're selling them for just 10 million RMB. Are yours real?
A: The price here is also 1 billion euro. I've clearly noted in the product description that the RMB price issue is because of Taobao's restrictions on prices. Such a substantial deal will have to be conducted offline.

Q: After the reconstruction following the disaster, will we receive residence permits? If I purchase two tickets, will I receive a mayorship?
A: Hello. The boat ticket is only good for transit and has no other function, not even expenses while on board.

Q: Will the door be unable to open before we board the boat?
A: You must have faith in the ability of our country to organize massive events. At the very least, there will be no problems with the Chinese ark during the boarding process.

Q: Are there discounts for group purchases?
A: Yes, for group purchases of 1,000 tickets or more. There are additional incentives if you do not need a tax receipt.

Q: Will you accept cash on delivery?
A: I'm sorry, that's not possible. However, it's normal to have misgivings over such a large sum, so the deal can be conducted through a third-party guarantor.

The sale started on 22 November and lasts until the 29th.
