The Unclaimed Baggage Center in Scottsboro, Alabama, is the only store in the U.S. that buys and resells unclaimed baggage from airlines. Since 1970, it has been a unique destination, offering a wide range of items from unclaimed bags. The store processes 7,000 items daily, sorting them to sell, donate, or discard. Items are priced through research, and high-value items often come with appraisals. Despite its popularity, the store only operates a single physical location, making it a bucket list destination for many. Visitors are often surprised by the variety of items, from moose antlers to expensive watches.
