RALEIGH, N.C. --
One man’s junk is another man’s treasure?
Well ... it all depends on what you're looking for.
From microwaves to other oddities people leave behind at the airport or on airplanes, it’s all yours if you've got the highest bid.
“My job is to get it sold for as much money as we can get it sold for for the airport,” auctioneer L.B. Daniel said Friday.
Daniel will be fielding bids for items that have remained in storage here for at least a year.
“You'd think people would come back to find expensive electronics and jewelry. Well..they don't,” he said.
It's incredible what people leave..tennis shoes to an iPod to a baby stroller to a laptop.
People even leave cars at the airport - usually clunkers - and those too are up for bid. This time, there are 13 vehicles up for auction. Also up for bid are jewelry, shoes, cameras, video game systems, sports equipment and light fixtures.
The items for sale do not include laptops, clothing, flash drives, baby care items and cell phones, which will be donated to charity.
The preview begins at 8 a.m. and auction begins at 9 a.m. Some of the profits go to the airport to cover costs, and the rest goes to the state.
To reach the auction from I-40: Exit toward RDU. Follow signs to Park and Ride 3. Turn onto National Guard Dr. Follow National Guard Dr. until it ends. Turn left onto Haley's Branch Road. The RDU Maintenance
