For Sale: Public Restroom

Do you have an extra $89,000 lying around? No, me neither. But for those that do: the city of Seattle has given up on its ambitious self-cleaning toilet program, and is putting them up for sale on EBay. Apparently, the facilities have attracted (surprise, surprise) prostitutes and junkies, and aren’t as cost effective as regular stalls. The experiment has cost the city about $5 million, but so far, no bids have been made on the stalls. The futuristic looking, German made installations offer hands-free washing and drying, as well as an emergency 911 button.  I for one would love to have one; I’d put mine in the backyard for the kids.
