Unclaimed Baggage Does it Stand Up To The Hype & Worth the Drive

[@chuckborghoff8443]

That looks more like a goodwill store. Hard to believe it’s all unclaimed.

[@windyjarrett5793]

It's not all unclaimed, some of it is from abandoned storage units and estate sales.

[@connwright8000]

Prices went out the roof when was talked about on Regis and Kelly talk show some prices triple original prices on clothing

[@choccolocco]

Antiques roadshow did the same thing.

[@lisauptagrafft2010]

My family had talked about going, but we never did. It would have been a fairly long drive for us, from Central Florida. Thanks for taking us along! ✌🏼❤️

[@ExploringAlabama]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@taramcarthur3937]

You mentioned that you’re supposed to throw the wheels of a skateboard in creeks? Could you explain why? I’m curious.

[@ExploringAlabama]

I was kidding

[@jillybean9329]

Those are prolly ROY Bans 😂😂

[@ExploringAlabama]

Lol she’s kidding.

[@hyacinth4368]

Used to go there, and to the outlet stores in Boaz, about 25-30 years ago. Last time I was at Unclaimed Baggage I was disappointed. That was 5 years ago.

[@andresalcido3460]

Like all other secondhand places their prices are outrageous

[@brysonclark6568]

Actually the majority if not all stuff unclaimed baggage sells is between 20 to 80% off the original price. God bless ❤

[@brysonclark6568]

Also prices are going up every where

[@dbuc4671]

they aren't necessarily all secondhand. they weren't intentionally donated as prior owned in the first place - they were simply items in luggage that were forgotten behind at airports for whatever reason, whether it be beyond the owners control, or something else. u dont know how many of those items could be new - many people travel with gifts to bring to family/friends etc

[@johnscannell4189]

I cannot imagine looking up the value of all those expensive glasses or anything. Not to mention if anything thing is real or not. In any case, I have never heard of on of those places but looks cool.

[@JoshSmithsOverallForge]

I drive down that stretch of 35 at least a couple of times a month and I never fall to be wowed by that view over the river, and the "chernobyl" towers (also known as Bellefonte Nuclear plant) is almost directly across the road from my house and I still chuckle at the chernobyl reference.

Hello Mr. and Mrs. Alabama .

[@ExploringAlabama]

Hi!

[@andreamills5852]

7:59 Is that a Ibanez guitar or a I'vebeenhad guitar ?

[@kathykeith2203]

Cool I didn’t know they did that !! 😮😮😮😊😊

[@laylakquran3799]

Hi there - I am working on a story about lost luggage for the PBS NewsHour. Can I use some of the footage from this clip with credit?

[@ExploringAlabama]

Absolutely! Can you let me know when it comes out? My email is [e-mail]

[@choccolocco]

Yeah, I’ll stick to yard sales, lol.

[@nascarmommam5915]

Holy cow 🐮 how does that much stuff get left? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️. Fun shopping 🛍. I need to look for one of these in my area, hope we have one. 😊. ~ Texas

[@ExploringAlabama]

No idea

[@thatgardeninggirl2864]

Dude started this business with an idea and $300 in his pocket I hope to one day see this place!

[@cleophusfowler]

@@thatgardeninggirl2864 Well sort of. He had a large furniture store there and took 300.00 and sectioned off a small part of the furniture store for unclaimed baggage and it grew to what it is now. The guy's son took over after the father died and greatly expanded operations and he is very wealthy from his own business ventures and lives in Texas. Fly's a private jet to Alabama from time to time to check on things. So it's not a rags to riches start up. I used to work as a contractor for them and knew them pretty well. The store is an overpriced Goodwill store so if you don't ever get to see it you ain't missed much.

[@nativemom4992]

Think about how many planes these days are so out of whack with times and everything and I can see all that stuff being lost luggage

[@johnturner4400]

Any golf balls there?

[@ExploringAlabama]

Not one. I know I know…

[@jamesking4225]

It’s not like it was 30 yrs ago

[@homersreluctantodyssey2508]

yeah it really used to be a place you could find some hidden gems for cheap.

[@jamesking4225]

@@homersreluctantodyssey2508 definitely was now it’s just over priced used stuff.

[@andreamills5852]

How does a person lose a surfboard ? Rename this store "The Goodwill of careless and really stupid people store " Then again could be an inside job at the airport luggage claim.🤔

[@iikhalaii8784]

Family jewelry that was passed down for generations you wouldn't have proof of purchase for that. It's just awful that they can keep that and sell it.

[@diggitallindadirt3283]

I drove down from franklin Tn and it wasn’t worth the drive to us.

[@jimnavio4761]

They need to bring back the Railroad Salvage. Jim

Scottsboro is a nice town, have a bunch of family there

[@ExploringAlabama]

Starts at 6:30..shitty editing

[@ExploringAlabama]

I don’t edit. Sorry to trigger you mam. Take your meds and get off your mom’s computer. It’s not healthy for a girl your age

[@windyjarrett5793]

I live about 8 minutes from unclaimed baggage and I can tell you it is way over priced .

[@ExploringAlabama]

you should have told me before I went...lol

[@lilblackfish2009]

over priced for stuff that diddnt cost them anything

[@flyingdutchwoman]

you call a football helmet a motor cycle helmet . should not name things that you know nothing about.

[@ExploringAlabama]

Ok sorry to trigger you
