Metro is cleaning house

Metro appears to have moved into its new Lee P. Brown Administration Building, and is ready to auction off unneeded office furniture and equipment from the old Metro headquarters:

METRO's Property Services Division will conduct two separate online auctions in March using the E-Surplus Auction web site (www.esurplusauction.com).

Through March 9, surplus inventory items from METRO's former headquarters, 1201 Louisiana, will be available on the site.

For the first auction, the general public will have an opportunity to purchase various items, such as furnishings (desk chairs, tables, desks, bookcases) and other miscellaneous equipment [...]

And according to Metro's press release, there will be a second auction:

Beginning March 22, surplus inventory and vehicles, including buses, support vehicles, computer equipment, office furnishings and other miscellaneous equipment, will be featured.

Bid prices may start as low as $750 for support vehicles; $500 for buses; $100 for lots of CPUs and lots of monitors; $75 for printers; $40 for CPU/monitor combos; and $10 for office furnishings; and $1 for miscellaneous items.

Anyone need a bus?
