eBay Auction: Eiffel Tower Staircase

Posted on Jun 6, 2009 in Web Stuff | 0 comments

It’s not everyday I find an item on eBay worth blogging about. Up for auction is the largest section of the staircase from the Eiffel Tower. Extremely rare, this 22.5 foot tall section of the winding iron staircase—33 steps total with an estimated weight of 3,500 pounds—is the last known available piece of the original 24 sections of the staircase that were removed in 1983 during renovation work and sold at auction.

Right now, it’s located in Orlando, Florida. So, if you want to purchase this, make sure you don’t live in Florida otherwise you have to pay 6.5% on top of the $1.5 million dollars this would cost you! Check out the auction:
