Cormac McCarthy's typewriter sold for $254,500.  I suspected it was going to go high.  See article in the NYTimes here:

Amazing. 

I have a broke-down Toshiba laptop that I'd like to auction off... for charity even.

My favorite book of McCarthy's is The Road, now out as a major motion picture, buy it's not available in my town.  No Country for Old Men comes in a close second.  I've watched the film a good 5 or 6 times.
