US Marshals Invite You To Dig Through The Unabomber’s Closet

Monday, May 23, 2011

Now the most feared hoodie and sunglasses of the 1990s can be yours – if you’ve got tens of thousands of dollars to spend. The U.S. Marshals service is currently conducting an online auction of the personal effects of Ted “Unabomber” Kaczynski, open through June 2, with the proceeds to benefits the victims of Kaczynski’s attacks.

The list of Unabombabilia on the block ranges from his mental health records (current top bid: $ 725) to his typewriter ($ 11,100), from a pile of birth certificates and IDs ($ 3,025) to a “long black knife” ($ 3,060). The highest price right now, of course, is fetched by the ensemble that we all saw in that police sketch ($ 20,025). For a better look at the stuff, consult the Unabomber auction Flickr gallery. If you’re in the market for a grisly piece of history and would like to help out the victims of an awful crime spree, you’ve got until June 2 to place your bids.
