Apollo Hasselblad auctioned

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
A telephone bidder won a Hasselblad camera claimed to have been used by astronaut Jim Irwin while on the moon’s surface with his (or her) bid of €550,000 (€660,000 with buyer premium, or about $910,400) at the WestLicht Gallery’s Photographica auction in Austria Saturday (March 22). The astronomical price was more than 20 times what was paid for the same camera (or at least its body, less one white Velcro square) in 2012, when it was offered as a possibly lunar-orbit-only-flown Hasselblad Electronic Data Camera (EDC).
