Remember way back in August of last year, when Trump was a mere presidential hopeful in the midst of a downward spiral that spun him straight into the Oval Office? While all that was happening, the last Atlantic City casino bearing his name—the Trump Taj Mahal—closed its doors for good after years of hemorrhaging income.

Now, the defunct casino is liquidating all its assets in a huge auction, which means that this is your big chance to take home a terrible souvenir from the spot Trump bankrupted a few decades ago!

The Hill reports that National Content Liquidators opened the auction Thursday morning and will keep it going until every chair, table, and horrible beaded, faux-Indian tapestry is gone.

Do you like sleeping on old hotel beds that have already been inhabited by hundreds of bodies? Do you like spending something like five figures on a massive, gaudy chandelier? There are also TVs, vases, poker tables, and even a grand piano looking for new homes, according to the NCL auction page.

Unfortunately, the auction doesn't include any slot machines, so don't expect to stroll in with a hand truck and roll a few home like you're Will Ferrell in whatever his new movie is called. Nothing branded with the Trump name is up for auction either.

The building itself will soon be reopened as a Hard Rock casino, but only after all the old Trump junk is scrubbed clean, which is where the big auction comes in. The Los Angeles Times reports that the rock-memorabilia behemoth plans to spend $375 million to renovate the space and will open next year.
