If I had the money, I would totally bid on this. I would consider bidding on this even if I could just get a LOAN to buy this. Wow. I'm just...

Wow.

Dude, that's awesome. Owning one of those things would be savvy. Shame the bidding has to be so steep.

"Enigma" to me refers to a bar in the city...

What is this Enigma? Would someone who saw it care to describe it?

The "Enigma machine" was a coding/encryption device used prominently by the German military prior to and during WWII.
