Only chance to own something that's been to the Moon.

Due to a jammed film magazine, a camera used on Apollo 15 was brought back to Earth instead of being left there like all the others.

Camera 1038 will be auctioned March 22, 2014. Starting bid is a mere 80K Euros!

Dunno how it came to be in private ownership, NASA usually lays permanent government property claim to anything they touch which goes into space.

it was probably sent to some lab to have the film removed, where it was listed as destroyed in the process but actually was snug into someone's lunch box and taken home.

That wouldn't exactly leave it open to being sold at public auction.
