The Unclaimed Baggage Center is a one-of-a-kind store that buys unclaimed baggage and cargo from airlines and freight ships, and then sells it to consumers at a considerable discount (anywhere from 20-80% off retail). The 40,000 square foot facility is neatly arranged by department and boasts a wide-range of merchandise. With 7,000 new items added daily, there's always something new to check out.
The Unclaimed Baggage Center is located in Scottsboro, Alabama (about 40 minutes outside of Huntsville). There's also a second location in Boaz, Alabama.
I didn't know that airlines and freight ships could sell that stuff! That seems wrong.

That doesn't appeal to me. It would feel like rifling through someone's closet when they were out. No thanks.

I have heard of this place. Just my luck to get purchase a bag with nothing but soiled underwear in it....

I don't see it like that Jewel. The way I look at it is it's not much different from going to a thrift store and buying something pre-owned.Thanks Savannah!
micharch, you are gross LOL.

I think it's cool....thanks for the link. I heard they find all sorts of odd stuff though, like prosthetic limbs.
That explains why the place will likely cost an arm and a leg.

It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it, frazzledmom. ;)

If you are going to do that, you'd better be willing to put it in the freezer for like a year or something. Bedbugs are on the rise and they can live through almost anything! I think you have to keep them sealed in plastic and in the freezer for six months or a year to kill them off. They are most common in hotels and guess where your unclaimed baggage was just before it ended up in that center? No thanks!

Yuck! I never thought of that. Wouldn't a good washing cycle kill them though?

That would work for the clothes...I'd soak them in super hot water in the sink, maybe boiling. But the case itself can't be washted that way and the eggs are almost impossible to kill.
