Stand clear of the clearance rack, please.
The MTA’s annual yard sale purge of New York City Transit inventory-turned-memorabilia has returned – and this time you don’t need an appointment.
“After 2 days of fully-booked appointments, we’re extending the pop-up for walk-ins,” the MTA wrote in an X post on Friday.
The fourth annual pop-up shop took place Thursday and Friday and will reopen for walk-ins on Monday at 2429 Stillwell Ave. in Gravesend. The shop will be open from 9 a.m. to noon.
Subway enthusiasts and commuter train connoisseurs will be able to find decommissioned station signs, seats, subway car builder plates, station exit globes and more at the sale, the MTA said.
“You can purchase perfectly imperfect items—subway signs, grabholds, and more—in person, without processing fees,” the MTA added in a news release. Only Visa and Mastercard will be accepted for payments.
Thrifty pickers, beware they may have to haul newfound treasures to the nearby Bay 50 Street elevated subway station as shipping is not available.
