A NYC subway trash can: Your $300 dream home purchase
For those who would willingly opt to bring pieces of the New York City subway system into their homes, the MTA's memorabilia and collectables sale is shopping heaven.
As Time Out New York reports, the transit authority's added a few pieces to its offerings. Among the new additions: a MTA station trash can for $300.
From the MTA's product listing:
"Authentic, unique, and probably one of the most useful items in every home, work or office now can be yours. Hurry and grab this rare item which is available in limited quantity."
An accompanying photo shows one of these used trash cans, not unlike the ones you've witnessed drunk strangers ruining at 2 a.m. Now you too can destroy a subway trash can, and in the comfort of your own home, no less.
Other new additions include a wooden subway bench, priced at $650 and marketed as "underground furniture."
And, for the more reasonable price of $25, collectors can snag a 2-line strip map that lists stations from the Bronx through Brooklyn.
Price aside, we'll take a frame-worthy map over a trash can used by millions. Not even a rag and some bleach can erase the horrors of real New York garbage.
