Which is a pity as such an exorbitant price probably prevents the successful bidder
to seriously tinker with the item - opening and taking pictures for example.

It'll be locked and collect dust in a vault.

Well, supposedly a disassembly is taking place now, including getting working emulation: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=125366

So, it's not a total loss. Again, with only about 4,000 produced and many successfully recalled and many others no doubt trashed, there's probably less than a dozen of them in active circulation. So yeah, it would be great to have more active "discovery and analysis" out there, but at least we have a few things.
