Whst are the odds that out of every 'unclaimed mail' package the person only ordered one item? Not even one expensive item. Also, no packing slips inside give it away that they weren't actually packages that a business sent to a customer. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah this was a scam. Someone just boxed and bagged up a random assortment of cheap items they had and put fake labels on them.

The mail packages being in such good condition is a red flag to me. Usually, they're in kinda rough shape from trying to be delivered and then returned. Goes through a lot of hands, and they get banged up

The vase looks like an antique, early American pattern Glass vase (EAPG). The date could range from the mid to late 1800s to early 1900s..

Some sell for hundreds of dollars, others for as little as $15.

@Franchise Kicks and The Wife open these for just funsies and curiosity. You can rarely make any money on these. The company they purchase from have mostly Walmart returns with Amazon thrown in. If the label is going back to Sayreville, New Jersey - it is Walmart and their secondary sellers. They have gotten a few good things, but not many.

Just like you, I think if you had gotten everything for $150 you could’ve turned some profit. Everything looked brand new, except for that one re-taped small package. You really didn’t get any junk or garbage, it’s just trying to connect your items with all the people that would’ve loved to have them. The snow items would be awesome if you could get them up north without having to pay more money. This hall was more fun to watch because the items weren’t junkie. You have a great attitude.! 👍😊

This being a month old, the thing that came up so often was that there were so many products that were for winter use. Give lost mail 2 - 3 months to go through processing before being liquidated in this manner puts all of these things being "bought" in the spring. Nobody buys ice melt in the spring, unless they are doing it at a clearance, to wait for the next winter, and then is is just impulse, as they see it in the store on clearance. Nobody is searching for these items specifically in the spring. The other snow related items, even on clearance, people aren't going to buy. Who sees a snowball maker in April, even at the store, and thinks "I have to have that now and hold on to it for 8 - 9 months"? Nah. This was all clearance items that were not selling because they were seasonal, and probably weren't selling that well when in season.

Considering how high shipping costs are lately, this definitely seems like it is a scam. Sure, some people don't care & ship low value items now and then, but most of the time, the general public isn't going to bother. Even most businesses only give free shipping with a certain value so people are less likely to place such small orders when they have to cover shipping unless it is something special/essential that you can't get from places like Amazon. What are the odds that all of those packages would be new & inexpensive items? Pretty low I'd guess.
