The auction of Theodore Kaczynski's writings and other material seized from his Montana cabin in 1996 might be considered macabre or settling a debt to society. But however you feel about it, the two-week online auction is winding down.

One of the most highly valued lots for sale online by the General Services Administration are Kaczynski's "personal journals." The last bid was more than $41,000 for his handwritten "thoughts and feelings about himself, society and living in the wilderness."

The auction is expected to conclude Thursday or early Friday when all bidding ends. The government wanted to keep the material, but the sale was ordered by the courts to raise restitution for his victims.

Kaczynski, dubbed the Unabomber, pleaded guilty in 1998 to a nearly 20-year series of bombings that killed three people and wounded 23. He wanted his property donated to the University of Michigan.

His so-called "manifesto" in which he railed against technology, has sold for $20,053. In all, the auction has raised more than $150,000.

Kaczynski is serving a life sentence without parole for bombings between 1978 and 1995. He led authorities on the nation's longest, costliest manhunt before his brother tipped off authorities in 1996.
