Becky Chorlton, from Lymm in Cheshire, bought the luggage which had been abandoned in London. Heathrow Airport.

The airport holds lost items for three months from the date they were found or delivered and may charge you up to £25 to recover lost items.

However, unclaimed cases are sometimes given to auction houses that then sell the bags (and all their contents) to the highest bidder.

Becky shared a TikTok video of her opening the case after purchasing it for £80 and realizing she had her money back and then some.

In a clip from her channel, she opened the large parcel and found a bright blue Delsy suitcase, which sells for around £275 at Selfridges, meaning Becky has already got her money back.

The first items on top of the case were anti-itch cream and new white underwear.

As she delved deeper into the case, Becky found many extravagant and colorful “stunning traditional dresses and outfits.”

How does the purchase of lost luggage work?

According to the Money Saving Expert blog, there are many different auction houses that sell lost luggage and each one does things differently.

Wellers and Mulberry Bank only sell empty boxes and the items inside are taken out and sold separately.

While Greasbys and BCVA sell empty suitcases but also offer others with clothes and other items still inside.

Some auction houses will sometimes let you see what’s inside the case before you buy it, while others will only have a description, for example, “women’s clothing.”

Prices can vary between £10 and £80, depending on whether the suitcases are full or empty.

Before selling them, airlines will unlock the cases and remove any identification, such as an ID, and verify that all contents of the case are legal.

Auction houses will then remove any items of significant value, such as electronics, jewelry and perfumes, according to the blog.

According to Money Saving Expert, if an airline has lost your luggage, you must file a claim within seven days. If you still haven’t been located within 21 days, your suitcase is “officially lost.”
