Watch out Seattle, you’ve got competition! A spankin’ new, 2009 model, self-cleaning

Watch out Seattle, you’ve got competition! A spankin’ new, 2009 model, self-cleaning toilet from Roswell, Ga. has joined the game. Bidding started at a buck today, (though the owner has set an undisclosed minimum.) Meanwhile, the bids for Seattle’s five public privies continue to climb, but they’re still no where near fetching the $89,000 the city wanted the first time it put them on the virtual auction block. The one on the waterfront has leapt ahead with a high bid of $1,713.88, while the one sitting in Victor Steinbrueck Park, an early favorite, is now only getting just $1,000.01. Six days, five hours and 55 minutes to make your play.
