Not just eBay madness, apparently.

Over on bid4assets.com, another auction site, someone is auctioning off "the original Watergate lock" - the lock assembly and key to the suite used by the Democratic National Committee, broken into by Nixon's burglars.

And if you read the supporting documentation, this appears to be the lock on the door to the stairwell that was taped to prevent it from latching and was discovered by the night watchman.

Kind of an interesting piece of history, and it's available to you. All you have to do is bid on it - and the minimum bid is a mere $100,000 (with minimum bidding increments of $10,000, in the event there are two people willing to bid on it).

(And as of this posting, no one has bid on it yet.)
