Are you in need of some mid-century modern furniture, industrial kitchen equipment or audio-visual systems? Or looking to brighten up your apartment with a giant neon bird sign?
\nThen you’re in luck. Twitter’s San Francisco\u00a0headquarters auctioned off\u00a0“surplus corporate office assets” online for a fleeting 27 hours, giving potential lucky bidders the chance to take a piece of the struggling company home with them.
\nAuction house Global Heritage Partners is running the de facto fire sale, which closed at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on Wednesday and charged a buyer’s premium of 18%.
\nThe 631 lots include office supplies like projectors and massive white boards (in both\u00a0old-school\u00a0and\u00a0digital form), kitchen equipment from espresso machines to refrigerators (including\u00a0a kegerator\u00a0beer dispenser), a wide variety of chairs and couches and miscellaneous modern-day workplace staples like assorted\u00a0power adapters\u00a0and\u00a0KN95 masks\u00a0in bulk.
\nThere’s also a bit of Twitter-specific memorabilia, including a six-foot-tall “@”-shaped\u00a0planter sculpture\u00a0filled with artificial flowers (with a high bid of $8,250), a\u00a0blue neon sign\u00a0in the shape of the app’s bird logo ($22,500) and a smaller, sturdier\u00a0bird statue\u00a0($20,500).
\nOther notable items include\u00a0a pizza oven\u00a0($10,000), a\u00a0conference room-sized booth\u00a0($7,250) and several\u00a0individual\u2002soundproof phone booths, packs of high-end\u00a0desk chairs\u00a0($4,900) and\u00a0sit-stand desks\u00a0($900) and two stationary bikes that double as\u00a0recharging stations\u00a0($2,400).
\nOverall, an eclectic assortment of goods and a jarring sight for those who once used them.
\n“Weird to see the Twitter office on auction,”\u00a0tweeted Kevin Weil, the company’s former senior vice president of product. “Great memories from a different era.”<\/p>\n
