But in cities like Boston, parking spaces are at a premium, and prices have been climbing for years.

The auction was held in the back alley where the spaces are situated. It was conducted, in the rain, by the Internal Revenue Service, which had seized the spaces from a man who owed nearly $600,000 in back taxes. In 1993, The Globe said, the man bought them for $50,000.4 s/ _/ v5 H) i) t- N
