Have you ever wonder what happens to those luggages you see going round and round on the airport luggage carousel?...Well, when luggages are left unclaimed maybe due to mistakenly packed in the wrong aircraft, they are packed in a store and later taken to the auction house if not claimed. Greasby’s auction house sells around 200 suitcases a month from Heathrow Airport — bags that were never collected or got lost and couldn’t be traced to their owner — and auctions them every two weeks.
Bags full of clothes go for a little as £16, but there’s a catch — you don’t know what’s inside. It’s a lottery. Which makes it very exciting.
Kim Kardashian, Naomi Campbell and Victoria Beckham have all lost luggage in the past. What if I get one of their designer bags, crammed full of Gucci, Prada and diamonds?..Hehehe
Sometimes you could be lucky to find good stuffs in those lost luggages and sometimes it could be a bad luck of luggages filled with dirty cheap stuffs...

Some people hunt for specific items such as prams, which they can sell on eBay for a good profit |
Bidders do not know what is inside the lost suitcases, which can cost as little as £16 each |
Crowds of people fill the small warehouse each month to bid on suitcases that could hold gems |

My lost bag might be here
I have lost my bags but they have always been sent back to me. That's why I love Avianca.
