Some time ago the media reported that LOT organize further auctions of abandoned luggage – this time buyers have to compete via the Internet. Out of curiosity, I checked what it looks like and what is offered, now I follow the auction in order to find out how much people are willing to pay for the so-called. pig in a poke. Or for insight into someone’s life? Or simply the opportunity to find in the luggage of electronics that will earn …
kojarzycie TV shows like “blind auction”? During the holidays I learned that on certain channels is the leading type of program. Bid to everything, and this is all they are and warehouses and abandoned by the owners of the consignment – both large scale and carry-on baggage. In Poland also arranges such auctions. At the moment there arose a television program devoted to the issue, but it may matter of time. For now it remains to be seen struggles bidding on LOT. The company has already organized an auction of lost luggage, it’s time for the second edition.
Under the hammer hit things which for two years has not been received by the owners. On the auctioned are only suitcases, backpacks and travel bags? No – the offer can be called extensive, and in some cases even strange. Today morning I saw an accordion in the price of 25 zlotys (auctions start at 10 zlotys), but people figured out that it was a ridiculous price to pay for such an instrument, so within a few hours it got 500 gold. There is also a saxophone, ciupaga element slides, hockey sticks, lots of strollers. It made me wonder, but I do not have children, so I can not solve the puzzle – how the donation and receive a night at the airport? The process differs from the usual baggage? Because it’s hard for me to understand, how can you forget something in the woziło a few hours earlier a child – his presence rather reminds on this item.
Prices “goods without mystery” are hardly shocking, it’s like auctions that find eg. on Allegro (which does not mean that it makes no sense to devote their attention – stick with the head of chamois impressive …). It gets more interesting in the case of a closed storage. Suitcases, backpacks and bags (from the descriptions we learn for example. It’s a bag for a real man – bought me this) tempt with their content, and their prices are rising. In some cases, we are talking about several thousand dollars. For what? That’s what I do not know.
I’ve heard a statement by the carrier, which reported that the bags are opened by airport staff. They remove food and dangerous objects, the rest is re-packaged and offered for sale. What can be found in the suitcase? The most will, of course clothing. And it is new, branded clothes to dirty underwear. What else? Souvenirs, probably book, beauticians, things are very personal – some notes, maybe pictures (mainly on digital media) whether the documents were not in hand luggage. But it also kindle the imagination of money, other treasures and electronics – after all, there can be expensive laptop or camera. I’ll pay you a thousand US Dollars for a suitcase, but quickly returns.
I must admit that I am a little surprised that someone puts thousands of dollars to take over someone else’s suitcase. In the dark. My interest is therefore just watch the auction on the Web, checking, as prices rise. And there will be growing even before two days so you can keep track of even participate. In fact, the matter should not be surprising, because it is a gamble, and this, after all, draws people for several thousand years. In this case, someone can be “zlustrować”, so it is a guaranteed win. Some bidders probably also count on the fact that in this way get to know the love of his life. But in films such things happen …
Internet again provided good entertainment.
