I wonder if the high bidder can pay for the item using Pay Pal?

Wow, did you notice there are already 20 bids on that item? I would bid also, it's slightly out of my price range though.

That seller has some other interesting items up for auction.

or whatever...

what WAS it, for the curious?

[Rick Nebiolo]

Easy E,

It was a Soviet Sputnik sattelite circa 1957. Probably a fake but it was supposed to be a test craft from the original space program.

I'd guessed from the article that the satellite was what you were referring to- thanks for confirming.
