The city of Chicago is up for auction.

Point your browser to eBay.com and you can bid on items such as painted Chicago Sewer System manhole covers (priced around $500 each), two 50-year-old signs from the Chicago Theater on State Street (weighing about 5,000 pounds each, a moving company will deliver the sign to the winning bidder's door; opening bid: $500), and flags that were used during Millennium Park's grand opening party (the Wrigley Square flag starts at $100)."
