Unclaimed Baggage Center - you must see! UPDATED

[Hotsauce]

Recently during a road trip I stopped at the Unclaimmed Baggage Center in North Alabama.

In a nutshell, they sell you items from unclaimed luggage from all over the world. You find everything from iPads to sporting equipment to brand new clothes to jewelry....

I bought a few iPhone chargers, which were apple products, retail $29.99, I paid $10.

They have everything you can imagine and it was such a big place! If you are a bargain hunter, you need to check this place out!

Here is an inside look

That is pretty interesting. I had no idea a place like that existsed but it makes logical sense. I would defintely check it out if there was a way to avoid having to go into Alabama to see it.

Meh. The discounts aren't even that good. I mean if I want cheap stolen merchandise, I'll just go to a pawn shop.

 

I still like the Good Will store. I truly think I could make a living selling stuff from the Good Will that no one really knows how much it's worth on eBay. Last time we were there, my girlfriend got a brand new London Fog trench coat for $8. That coat retails for over $250. I got 2 Swarovski blue crystal whiskey glasses for 98 cents apiece. A set of those retails for at least $75. Not to mention a Joseph A Bank sport coat for $10. People avoid it because of the stigma attached to it, but it's a fuggin' gold mine if you know retail.

For real. You could buy any random item at Goodwill, and there's like a 90% chance you could sell it for more than you bought it for somewhere else.

Cant believe how many people check valuables.  One point the reporter kept hitting is don't check your luggage.  He is right if you have valuables put them in your carryon bag.

I would like to consider myself somewhat of an avid bargain hunter. The discounts here were surprising good actually.

Goodwill really is hit or miss. The best way to take take advantage of good will is to find a high volume store, and on weekday mornings.

The absolute best place to find bargains are yardsales....

So I stopped back by this place and found some great stuff

32gb iPod touch. $45, regular $280

Stitched Michael Jordan Nike Bulls authentic Jersey $8, regular $250

A pair of Costa Del Mar sunglasses in mint condition $52, regular $250

A pair of black leather Alfani loafers (brand new, never worn $15, regular $90

Belkin iPod touch armband case $2, regular $20

Outbox iPod case $2, regular $40

So I got $930 worth of merchandise for $180

I think they are starting to get a ton of stuff in from all the holiday travel. The place is huge now, much bigger than when I was there 7 months ago. They even added an outlet next door. Also, they had probably 40 nfl and NBA jerseys for $8-$20 each...or should I say "Cheap and high quality"! There were hundreds of: iPads, all types of phones, beats by dre, hats, suits, coats, shoes (all stuff it pretty much brand new, most of the stuff has the original stickers on it), jewelry, sporting equipment, home goods...you name it, it's there.

If you enjoy bargain hunting, this place is for you. I almost feel like I am buying stolen merchandise from the mob or something!
