MTA’s pop-up store sells MetroCard machines and other strange items — but buyers have to act fast

Stand away from clearance racks.

The MTA's annual New York City Transit Authority inventory-turned-memorabilia yard sale is back. No reservations are required this time.

“We are extending our walk-in pop-up as we are fully booked for two days.” MTA wrote in the X post on friday.

The fourth annual pop-up shop will be held Thursday and Friday and will reopen for walk-ins on Monday at 2429 Stillwell Avenue in Gravesend. The store's business hours are from 9 a.m. to noon.

The MTA says subway enthusiasts and commuter train enthusiasts will be able to find decommissioned station signs, seats, subway car manufacturer plates, station exit globes and more at the sale.

“Perfectly imperfect items, such as subway signs and railings, can be purchased directly without a fee,” the MTA added in a news release. We only accept Visa and Mastercard for payment.

Transportation fans can also buy MetroCard machines in a quirky sale. MTA

Frugalists should note that you may have to haul your newfound treasure to the nearby Bay 50th Street elevated subway station, as transportation is not available.
