Lee Harvey Oswald's "window" up for auction

"The window from which Lee Harvey Oswald shot (or didn't shoot) JFK is
up for auction on eBay. Current bid is a little over $3 million -- and
the winner has to arrange item pick-up." From the auction listing:

 02 I 000 89 90 Cafb 12Up
for auction for the first time, the actual window and frame from the
shooter’s nest on the 6th floor of the Dallas Texas School Book
Depository where Lee Harvey Oswald fired off those fatal shots that
took the life of our 35th President of the United States - John F.
Kennedy. Here is your opportunity to own a piece of history. This
window and frame was on display for over ten years at the Sixth Floor
Museum in Dallas, Texas. The window and frame has been picked up by
it's owner Caruth Byrd and is now in his possession. This valuable
historical artifact is now being offered for sale to an avid JFK
collector by Caruth Byrd, whose family owned the Texas School Book
Depository at the time of the assassination, Nov. 22, 1963. Also
included in this auction is a leather booklet with all the official
documentation and contracts related to the window and frame's
authenticity.
