Subway Chic: NYC Offers Collectible Subway Memorabilia For Sale
Want to hang or display a bit of the Big Apple's transit history on your wall?
New York City is selling off transit station signs, fare boxes, vintage tokens, lighting fixtures, and even entire subway doors ($175 for a set) to the public, a most interesting way to make some money by selling old stuff that's being replaced by new stuff.
You can pick up a framed subway map for $150 while black-and-white terminal signs go for $175. Care to do a bit of pole dancing? Gleaming silver stanchion poles go for a bargain $25 each. Really hard subway seats are available for $500, and vintage tokens sell for between $2 and $5 each.
There's a processing fee of $50 (waived if you buy more than $300 worth of items) plus shipping, handling, and insurance are extra. Buy $1,000 worth of stuff and receive a $1,000 discount. Because New Yorkers know how to bargain. Details here or call Vivian Ng at 646-252-4530.
