From IMDB.COM
The Fairchild-Curtis lens that served as the eye of HAL 9000 in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and which Kubrick actually used in scenes showing HAL's point of view has been put up for sale on eBay for $150,000. The unidentified seller says in the listing that four letters of authenticity -- from two owners, the builder and a technical animation specialist for the movie -- are included with the purchase, as well as a copy of the original script and the original 2001 movie program. Two days after the items were put up for sale, there had not been a single bidder.
