Buffalo Bills fire sale: Bidders can even buy stadium's urinal troughs

If you’re looking for a real conversation starter in your man cave or a unique flowerbed, gee whiz, do the Buffalo Bills and Brandon Steiner of CollectibleXchange have a deal for you!

The well-known urinal troughs from the men’s room of Highmark Stadium will eventually be available for purchase.

Steiner discussed selling the troughs with the Buffalo-Toronto Public Media when discussing unique memorabilia.

“There’s definitely the troughs in the bathroom,” Brandon Steiner, the founder of CollectibleXchange, said. “There’s some stuff in some of the suites that are interesting, great photos, stuff maybe in the locker room that could be kind of quirky, one-offs, that sort of thing.”

The bathroom troughs are certainly quirky, but also beloved by Bills fans. Buffalo’s new stadium across the street reportedly will not have the troughs in the men’s rooms.

CollectibleXchange is partnering with Erie County to remove and sell as much as possible from the current Highmark Stadium before it is demolished. The sale has already begun with other unique items up for grabs on the Bills’ official website. Erie County will receive 50% of proceeds from the sale.

Current items that can be purchased include single stadium seats ($550), pairs stadium seats ($650), double bleacher seats ($550), seatbacks ($100) and pieces of turf ($100). Steiner’s company will include a tamper-proof, numbered hologram with a scannable QR code and a letter of authenticity provided by CollectibleXchange with any purchase.

“I knew it’d be fun taking the stadium apart, because I know it’d be meaningful,” Steiner told the Buffalo-Toronto Public Media in his interview. ”You know, memorabilia is meaningful memories. I always say they call it memorabilia, but it’s meaningful memories. And I felt like I’d go create some really cool products.”
