A slab of asphalt, a couple of white lines, it often comes as part and parcel of a home purchase without too much thought. But in cities like Boston, parking spaces are at a premium, and prices have been climbing for years. In certain neighborhoods, the price of a home can go up $100,000 or $200,000 if parking is included, which it often is not, only adding pressure to the supply and demand crunch that drives prices up further.# J% H+ L3 g, k: P; C& ~

She told The Boston Globe that the auction was a rare chance to acquire more parking for guests and workers, though she did not expect the bidding to run so high.

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.

Mr. Cohen, the broker, said he would have expected the spaces to go for about $300,000 — not top dollar, because the first car has to be moved out to move the second.+ j7 C/ [: G: q/ T& R0 V' P
