Baggage Battles
Three teams of shrewd auction specialists rely on their expertise to survive in the cutthroat business of buying and reselling unclaimed property. With dozens of auctions to travel to, thousands of items to explore and millions of dollars at stake, their bids are often placed sight unseen so they need skill and luck to hit the jackpot.
