In case anyone is curious, the winning bid price on that Enigma machine that was up for auction on eBay came to 55,000 euros, or approximately $67,480.29. The thing I wonder is whether that’s a significant investment for the winner or merely pocket change…

Wow. I wish I had that kind of pocket change. 🙂 I noticed that the buyer has no feedback rating. Must have signed up just for this one item. I hope it’s everything he expects it to be.
If it’s not, some rich bastard is going to be very unhappy… 🙂
I imagine the buyer is probably either a museum or an individual with sufficient assets that they wouldn’t even notice a price tag of less of 100K.
