My god people are thick as fu**. These people are not to blame they are making money from luggage that years ago would have been put in the incinerator. Luggage that had NO identity on them. The people you need to blame apart for the airlines are yourself, If you had just sharpie markered your telephone number on the suitcase, it would not be at the auctions in first place.

ba do not make any effort to look after peoples bags, their too busy making money,and as for the profits going to charity,if you belive that ,your not in the same world as the real world,if your a large company you profit tax wise if you ,you give cash to so called charity,their was a program on the bbc which purchased bags at auction ,guess what ,they opened them and without much trying identifed the owners,in most cases,and went on to reunite them.

Well…. BA have to pay compensation to people who loose baggage so why they would not put an effort in contacting anybody does not make much sense. Also, after they have paid a parties compensation claim, some of that money is recouped via selling off the goods at auction. Its costs a lot to store loads of unclaimed baggage…. Just Sayin’

Had you never flown before
Surly you realise how strict the airlines are on overweight bags. I could understand 1 or 2 kilo’s but 10!

In all fairness, the people do have like 6 months to claim the lost luggage, if there was anything in there that they desperately desired, im sure they would pretty much go out of their way for 6 months to find it (of course i know it isn’t always that simple). I don’t think it’s fair for people to call bidders “horrible people”, that’s a little harsh, and also they’re just trying to make a bit of money, it’s not their fault that the service is available. I’m just about to become a student so i might consider this to earn a little cash!

You seriously think anyone wanting to purchase a bag with no identification or tracking number is a “vile and horrible excuse for a human being”?! People do a lot worse than that, what an easy life you must live to think that, ever watched the news or read a paper?

I had my BOTH my bags lost thanks BA containing jewellery, photos and presents for more 2 children, I blame the company not individual people who simply want to make some cash in these hard times.

However it isn’t just BA, they are police auctions for stolen goods that have no identification, auctions of those who have gone bankrupt, oh and if the council cannot find relatives or friends to pick up the belongings of a deceased person they will either throw the belongings or sell them.
