Unabomber's stuff sold for $232G

A hoodie, aviator sunglasses, manifesto and other items that once belonged to the unabomber raised more than $230,000 at an auction to benefit victims.

Ted Kaczynski's journals alone sold for more than $40,000.

Shyam Reddy, spokesman for GSA Auctions in the U.S.,  said about 720 bids were received from around the world.

The hoodie and aviator sunglasses that appeared in an infamous FBI sketch fetched about $20,000.

A typewriter used to write his manifesto sold for $22,000.

Other items that hit the auction block include driver's licences; academic transcripts; photos; more than 20,000 pages of written documents, such as the original handwritten manifesto; and even an empty Tide detergent box.

"We will use the technology that Kaczynski railed against in his various manifestos to sell artifacts of his life. The proceeds will go to his victims and, in a very small way, offset some of the hardships they have suffered," U.S. Marshal Albert Nájera said in a statement.

Last year, land owned by Kaczynski in Lincoln, Mont., went on the market for $69,500, under the slogan "own a piece of U.S. history."
