What to Buy Someone Who Has Everything? A Parking Meter? A Streetlight?

It's the eternal question - what do you get the person who has everything? I mean, what do you even get the person who just has a lot of stuff? Or what do you get someone who appreciates something different?

How about a parking meter? Or the brush from a street sweeper? Or a set of office chairs?

The city of Portland is constantly changing and that means they have a lot of stuff they are getting rid of. Sometimes it's a case of changing technology. Sometimes it's a case of the police having seized stuff that no one ever claims.

The city obviously can't hold on to the stuff forever, so they do what local governments around the country do - head to www.govdeals.com and put the stuff up for auction.

So, whether you need a single head parking meter or a dual head parking meter or a bunch of bracelets or a lot of 27 rolling office chairs - there may not be something for everyone but there is a lot of stuff for a lot of people.
