Ireland’s first ever lost luggage auction is taking place and it sounds unreal

These lots won't last long

It’s the ultimate Storage Wars experience.

A number of suitcases will be put under the hammer tomorrow in Ireland’s first ever lost luggage auction.

More than 400 lots will be up for grabs in what social media users are dubbing the perfect Storage Wars experience.

The bags and other items were all obtained by Paul Cooke Auctions from a transatlantic airport in Europe.

Winning bidders will walk away with the suitcase itself – as well as all of its contents.

But they won’t know what is going to be inside, as all bags are going to be sold unopened – kind of like a lucky dip.

Lots are set to include iPhone 4’s, 5’s, 6’s and 7’s; iMacs, Kindles, Bose headphones, Samsung/Android tablets, household furniture, new couches, antique prams, sunroom furniture, painting, pianos, and chandeliers.

Meanwhile, they will also be selling the remaining stock from a liquidated sofa company – which includes vintage watch collection, tables and chairs, as well as antique furniture.

The auction begins at 6pm on August 3 at the Naas Industrial Estate in Co Kildare.
