New York’s Office of General Services has turned to eBay in an attempt to sell off a huge, steel morgue refrigerator now located at a Manhattan psychiatric hospital.
Bidding on Saturday afternoon was up to $475 for the four-drawer unit, but that price doesn’t include delivery. Buyers have to be willing to remove the fridge themselves from the Manhattan Psychiatric Center.
Office of General Services spokeswoman Heather Groll tells the New York Post ( HTTP://BIT.LY/11HTBPM ) that the ad is no hoax.
She says the agency does get unusual surplus items to sell from time to time, including barber chairs from prisons and police cars, but she doesn’t recall a previous sale of a morgue cooler.
The auction runs through June 6.
Hopefully we don’t find this being used in a glatt kosher store or restaurant.
can a Kohain use it?
Not a bad deal. I think that I will buy this to cool off this summer. Just wish they include delivery.
Once the auction concludes, the state will claim it solved a cold case.
Add some shelves, a thermostat and a humidifier. You could age hundreds of cheeses at once.
If it’s at “Manhattan Psych”, that comples is actally on Ward Island next to the Triborough Bridge.
