Wanna buy a Used Toilet ??? Check Ebay

SEATTLE - Seattle’s five problem-plagued public toilets could be yours for a piss amount.

City officials decided to pull the plug on the multimillion-dollar self-cleaning toilet stalls and instead put them on the auction site eBay.

Starting bids are $89,000 apiece.  (Not a Cheap Crapper Is it !)

Neighbors and city-commissioned analysts said the unisex facilities users and were less cost-effective than regular public restrooms.

Unfortunately, they also fostered illegal behavior, such as prostitution and drug use.

The German-made automatic, high-tech toilets were installed in 2004 and have cost the city about $5 million. Each has handsfree washing and drying ability and an emergency button that automatically dials 911. ( In case you need a change of scivees)

The automated doors on the HIGH-TECH and graffiti-resistant toilets will close Aug. 1, The auction will last for 10 days.

As of Thursday morning, none of the toilets had received any bids.
