Window from the Texas Schoolbook Depository sells on eBay for $3m


JFK 'window' fetches $3m on eBay
By Justin Webb
BBC News, Washington

An item described as the window and frame from where Lee Harvey Oswald shot US President John F Kennedy in 1963 has been sold at auction on eBay.

A mystery bidder paid more than $3m (£1.5m) for the items, apparently from Oswald's shooter's nest at the Texas Schoolbook Depository.

The starting price was just $100,000 but bidding was brisk and the item eventually fetched $3,001,501.

The depository was owned by a local family that listed the item on eBay.-snip-

1. I bet george h.w. bush bought it as a souvenier.
Sort of like his stupid son, george w., keeping Saddam's pistol.

2. For the Publican who has everything...
:puke:

(Of course, it's now likely far too late to get the shrubs on the grassy knoll from which Kennedy was really shot...)
