   >The once-ascendant, now-beleaguered social media firm will be the subject of an online auction in January on hundreds of lots of furniture and equipment culled from its headquarters at 1355 Market St. in San Francisco. Individual items will start at $25 when bidding begins on Jan. 17 for the two-day event. Lots such as a dozen ergonomic Knoll chairs — which start at $300 for 12 — have higher opening prices.
