ATLANTA (AP) _ With a week to go before an online auction of items once owned by the Unabomber ends, a bidder is offering more than $17,500 for a handwritten copy of his infamous manifesto.

As of Thursday, the item had drawn nine bidders. The auction ends June 2.

A U.S. district judge ordered Ted Kaczynski’s personal items sold on August 2010 and the proceeds will benefit his victims’ families.

The high bid for his typewriter is $11,100. The item most in demand? Kaczynski’s hoodie and sunglasses, with 19 bidders so far and a high bid of $20,025.

Kaczynski, 69, is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole after pleading guilty in 1998 to setting 16 explosions that killed three people and injured 23 others in various parts of the country.
