Everything must go at the Watergate Hotel. The Washington landmark, made famous by the Nixon scandal, is selling beds, sofas, silver teapots and even toilets to prepare for a major renovation. The sale begins Friday morning at the hotel and will last until all items are sold. It's expected to draw thousands of people and yield $700,000.

Bargain hunters can choose among items such as an ordinary wooden desk for $85 or frying pans for $6.

ABC 7 News myTAKE - What's Your Opinion?Officials with the liquidation company running the sale hope a $10 admission fee during the first three days will deter people only interested in sightseeing.

The hotel is part of a complex of six buildings, including one where the 1972 burglary of the Democratic National Committee headquarters occurred - a crime that led to President Richard Nixon's resignation. Four of the burglars stayed at the hotel.
