A glitch temporarily wiped out X images and links between 2011 and 2014. It also seemed to affect links posted in the same three-year period — some of which have become shortened links.

Items up for auction range from a standard desk chair to a large bird cage welded with a Twitter logo bird and everything in between. On top of the more outlandish items, Twitter is looking to get rid of office equipment including desks, chairs and refrigerators. The auction, run by Heritage Global Partners (HGP), opens September 12 and runs for two days in San Francisco. Twitter also put memorabilia up for auction in January, trying to offload similar items. X and HGP did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment on the auction.
