Unclaimed Baggage Center — 'Lost treasures from around the world'

Bge

From Adam P. Knave comes news of the website of the only unclaimed baggage merchant in the U.S., located in Scottsboro, Alabama.

From the site:

    There Is Only One Unclaimed Baggage Center

    Our store is unique in that we are the only one in the country that sells unclaimed baggage. This original concept began in 1970 when founder Doyle Owens had an innovative idea, 300 dollars, and a used pick up truck. Today, our one-of-a-kind store offers you a unique shopping experience and the opportunity to discover lost treasures from around the world.

    Our store is huge! It has to be to accommodate all of the great finds that await you. Over the years we have been continually expanding and now occupy a 40,000 sq. ft. building covering more than a city block.

    Throughout the day, over 7,000 items will be introduced to the store's shelves. This gives you huge possibilities that range from practical everyday items to the bazaar. You'll want to keep your eyes peeled and the creative juices flowing. The merchandise in the store moves quickly and the inventory is different from day to day.

    We strive to deliver our customer a quality product at an amazing value. In order to do this we have expert buyers that specialize in every category who know the market prices for everything from cameras to fine jewelry, and even that trendy designer bag you might want. We price our merchandise anywhere from 20-80% off the retail value.

    We operate the busiest laundry and dry cleaning facility in the area. Before any item ever reaches the floor to be sold you can sure it has taken a visit to our laundry facility to be washed, pressed, and repaired if necessary.

Much more here.

Neat concept. Too bad you have to go there to actually buy. I think I'll stick to my vintage and antique stores. In essence, they are the same.
