A mystery Chinese bidder paid $91,000 for an 'Iron Man'-themed Samsung smartphone because its serial number is 'lucky'

An "Iron Man"-themed Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge smartphone has sold for a staggering $91,000 in an online Chinese auction, Android Authority reports.
The smartphone is part of a limited edition brought out to mark the release of "Avengers: Age of Ultron," and features a custom red-and-gold colourway. It's technically a limited-edition, but it's likely to be fairly easy to come by - 16 million of the devices are being produced.

The device also comes with an Arc Reactor-style wireless charger.
According to Android Authority, more than 92,000 bids were placed before the winning bid of $$91,635 was placed. (There's no indication yet of who the new owner is.) It puts to shame a previous Iron Man Galaxy S6 handset that sold for the not inconsiderable sum of $35,000.
So, besides the shiny colours and fancy serial number, what is the mystery big spender getting that owners of the regular Galaxy S6 Edge don't?
In short: Nothing.
