I wonder what shipping and handling costs are. (I'd want it to be properly packaged, with two layers of cardboard and bubblewrap.)

A bargain! How can you resist? By the time all the bids are in, it should still be under a hundred grand. Chances are you need never worry about another upgrade. That's the sort of peace of mind only money can buy

Looks like the military tracking units used in weapons tracking....or space shuttle (or the like) tracking units.

I've seen similar fixed tracking units at Woomera.

You have to wonder why sales of items like this are not restricted..the general public has no use for items like this.

ahhh here we go:

They are ex military units.
