There are plenty of cool, under $10 souvenirs to be found in the shops at Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW).
But if you’re after something truly unusual, check out the airport’s on-line auction.
Sadly, you missed your chance to pick up this chainsaw, which came with a lovely carry case. Unlike the 1992 Chevrolet GMT -400 ambulance currently up for auction, the 18″ Troy Bilt Model 42cc was not surplus property, but an abandoned item that ended up in the Lost & Found.
Up for adoption now: a 1990 Ford Econoline van, a variety of other vehicles, and an intriguing assortment of airline ticket printers and readers.
Not interested in any of this stuff? Keep checking back. The airport authority plans to expand its offerings to include computers and office equipment, fine and costume jewelry, watches, construction equipment and other specialty airport equipment.
