In a bizarre twist on the traditional garage sale, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is auctioning off a massive, 1,000-pound MetroCard machine. The unusual item, which is essentially a hunk of junk to many New Yorkers, is set to go under the hammer with a starting bid of $1,500. The sale is part of the MTA's efforts to declutter and upgrade its facilities, but it's unlikely to be a cash cow for the struggling transit agency. With its hefty price tag and unusual provenance, the auction is set to be a unique spectacle that's sure to capture the imagination of New Yorkers and beyond.
