Looking in at the party from the farthest reaches of the upper deck

Earlier this morning, I registered with Christie's acuction house to be able to track the sale of Cormac McCarthy's typewriter.  I feel like the rabble with a far below deck berth hoping to catch a view of the launching party.  Yet I'm in on the fun, albeit entirely vicariously.  I should receive email updates when the saile is set to begin and then we'll see how in on the action I can be.  

I'm not qualified to do so, but I need to place a bet on what it will go for.  Honestly, this seems like a treasure.  So I suggest that an anonymous buyer will spend $67,000.  Any other bets?
