I have been watching this for a few days (I do not know why). It will be interesting what he final bid will be.

Up 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. The assassination of John F. Kennedy changed history and this is perhaps the most famous window ever offered up for sale in the world. This authentic, documented piece of American history will only become more valuable with time. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a piece of history.
 
Something looks strange there. Look at the number of retracted bids. I don't think that's common. Wonder what's up?
 
I'm surprised that they're not requiring more extensive pre-qualification for bidders. Normally, in an auction like this, you have to submit a bank Letter of Credit before you can bid. One of the current (at this moment) top bidders is a five-year member of eBay with 100% positive feedback in excess of 1000 points and has bid over three million bucks on this item; that sounds like a serious bid from a serious bidder to me.
