A piece of history sold on ebay
How much do you think an old window frame from your house would be worth?
Not very much you would think, but the BBC report that one window frame has been sold on eBay for around £1½ million.
Of course it is not just any old window and frame, but the window through which Lee Harvey Oswald shot US President John F Kennedy in 1963. Originally the window was in the Texas Schoolbook Depository but after the assassination the owners removed it to protect it from souvenir hunters.
