The Curta is often sought after by collectors and is a very nice looking pre-electronic calculator.
At the time of posting, bids were around $300, for this genuine ticker.
The Kvant was a clone of a ZX Spectrum.
The first Apple Laptop. Well not quite laptop, but the first portable. (I remember when Nick Denton had one of these).<p /><p />Bids starting at $100. This looks like a potential sound investment for a collector.
This medieval style dress is a size 38, designed by Christopher bailey for Burberry Prorsum. It is available for $2200, having originally cost $4500 and is made of real overlapping metal armor beads.<p /><p />A very expensive dress, but quite awesome.
What I like most about this $3000 item is how cute it looks. Its like a combination of a siege engine and a wheelbarrow.
Timex Sinclair ZX80 Computer Working US Edition
Turnkey with internal floppy drives, bids start at $600
To my untrained eye, this looks like a very early digital watch, from one of the producers of the very first ones. Might be worth a look.
The Panasonic HHC was one of the first ever hand held computers, complete with a printer. I particularly like this item, because the modified 70s briefcase with custom cut outs shows how precious the item was.<p /><p />Perhaps this is the first laptop case, or case mod even?
Although surgeons still use tools to drill into peoples heads today, trepanning was an ancient quack remedy that was used to relieve things like headaches, by opening a hole in the skull to relieve pressure.<p /><p />This would be an odd thing to leave in your tool chest.
I like this little item, because the Apple III was relatively obscure and it was rare to see a non rainbow colored Apple logo.
Mouse in Space! This plush toy Mickey Mouse was flown to the Space Station. Ironically on a Russian mission.

Salizhan Sharipov, commander of Soyuz TMA 5, took Mickey (in fact two of them) into space, during exhibition 10 to the International Space Station, which lasted 192 days. Mickey survived, and you can buy him on eBay.

A nice, unusual drum microscope from the 19th Century.
