Social media giant Twitter is auctioning its office furniture including its neon display blue bird sculpture and an expresso machine once used by its employees.

Starting Tuesday, fans of billionaire Elon Musk-owned microblogging site can their hands on 631 lots of “surplus corporate office assets” in a giant fire sale from its San Francisco headquarters.

The items on offer range from mundane – industrial-scale kitchenware and typical office furniture like whiteboards and desks – to less typical fare for office auctions, such as peculiar signage and more than 100 boxes of KN95 masks.

They also include a range of designer chairs, coffee machines, iMacs and stationary bike stations capable of charging appliances.

Most items, items including company memorabilia like a large Twitter bird statue and an “@” symbol sculpture planter, had starting bids of $25. With about 20 hours left in the auction, the neon logo had received 64 bids valuing it at $17,500 – the highest current bid of the lot. The bird statue had 55 bids, pushing the price to $16,000, while the “@” sculpture had 52 bids for a $4,100 value.

The 27-hour online auction is being organised by Heritage Global Partners Inc., who said that the sale isn’t intended to shore up Twitter’s finances.

Fortune magazine quoted a representative of Heritage Global Partners last month saying “this auction has nothing to do with their financial position.”

Reports have indicated that Musk, who acquired Twitter for $44 billion last year, is trying to cut cost at the company, and has failed to pay rent for another San Francisco address.

As per reports, other Twitter offices, including its Asia-Pacific base in Singapore, have also not been spared, with staff there being asked to clear out and work from home.

As such, more cash is likely more than welcome for the social media company.

Aamir Khan is getting ready for Sitaare Zameen Par, his upcoming film. The actor took a break following Lal Singh Chaddha‘s failure on the box office. The shooting of Sitare Zameen Par is reportedly set to start in Delhi the next month, in May.

Aamir Khan will be traveling to the national capital to shoot his upcoming film, according per a report. Aamir Khan will fly down to Delhi next month for Sitare Zameen Par‘s shoot, a source was quoted as saying. For the shooting of his film, he will travel to the capital with about 11 child actors. Other notable cast members will also be there; their specifics are still pending.

The schedule is set for one month, between May and June, the same source continued. For the shoot, the children will take part in a variety of Paralympic Games. Several locations in Delhi, such as Lal Qila, Purani Dilli, Lodhi Garden, and Thayagraj stadium, will be used for filming. They are filming it in several parts of Delhi since they don’t want all the youngsters to go to the NCR.

This film will make you laugh, it will entertain you, Aamir Khan said when he unveiled Sitare Zameen Par at an event following the box office failure of Laal Singh Chaddha. However, the topic remains the same (as Taare Zameen Par), which is why they have carefully considered their options for a similar name. They are carrying on this theme since although they all have shortcomings and flaws, they also all have something unique to offer. Those nine boys, who have their own problems, assisted him in Sitare Zameen Par, he added.

Darsheel Safary portrayed the dyslexic character Ishaan Awasthi in the film Taare Zameen Par, while Aamir Khan played the role of art teacher Ram Shankar Nikumbh, in the film. Taare Zameen Par was release in 2007 in December 21. With a global earnings of Rs 1.35 billion. The film was a commercial success.
