X — formerly Twitter — will auction off items from its San Francisco HQ due to its brand overhaul.
The auction is being held by Heritage Global Partners and will last from September 12-14.
All items are listed at a starting bid of $25. Items include furniture, appliances, and signs.
What do a beer tap, a drum kit, and a bird-shaped coffee table all have in common? They're all being auctioned off by X, formerly known as Twitter, and could be yours.
The auction, hosted by Heritage Global Partners, will start on September 12 at 7 a.m. PST and end on September 14 at 9 a.m. PST. All items have a starting bid of $25. They are all being sold out of X headquarters in San Francisco.
Just because these items are being auctioned off doesn't mean you'll be able to fill your living room with furniture from Twitter HQ. According to HGP's terms and conditions, buyers must use the items in their businesses and cannot purchase them for personal use. HGP will help buyers carry items into the loading area, but it does not provide shipping services. Buyers will have to coordinate their own shipping.
This is not the first time that Musk's X is holding an auction. In January, the company sold items from its HQ including a pizza oven, office furniture, and an espresso machine. The most expensive item from that auction was a Twitter statue, which sold for $12,000.
This auction comes after Elon Musk purchased Twitter back in October 2022. He bought the platform for $44 billion and has since made some major changes to the platform including, most notably, a new name — X. The Twitter bird and signature sky blue theme are slowly being removed in favor of the black and white X branding.
