Ep 6. Safari Sale

Baggage Battles is a reality TV series that follows a group of professional auction specialists in their quest for hidden treasures within lost and unclaimed luggage going up for auction. In season 4 episode 6, titled "Safari Sale," the team heads to Texas to attend an auction like no other.

The auction is being held by a retired couple who have spent their lives traveling the world on safari adventures. They have decided to downsize their collection and are auctioning off some of the most rare and unique collectibles from their travels. The auction is being held in a beautiful mansion that serves as the couple's home, making it a perfect setting for a one-of-a-kind auction.

As the auction begins, the team of auction specialists prepare for a fierce bidding war. The first lot up for grabs includes a handcrafted tribal mask from Africa, which seems to catch the attention of everyone in the room. Billy Leroy, one of the show's regular auctioneers, is quick to make the first bid, but it's not long before all the others start to follow suit. The bidding war continues back and forth until it reaches an unexpected price, leaving everyone in awe.

The next lot up for sales are rare African swords and hunting tools, which were used by the couple on their safaris. The bidding starts out slow, but Jimmy and Mark Meyer aren't about to let this lot slip through their fingers. Their knowledge of weapons and hunting proves to be an advantage as they go head-to-head in the bidding war. In the end, it's Jimmy who comes out on top, taking home a collection of safari swords that he believes will fetch big money at a later auction.

As the auction progresses, the team's competitive nature starts to shine through as they bid on everything from African rugs to authentic headdresses. One of the highlights of the auction is a set of ivory tusks from an elephant that the couple hunted during one of their safaris. The tusks are massive and expected to fetch a high price at auction. However, with California's ban on ivory, the team must be careful about how they handle this lot.

Throughout the episode, viewers get a sneak peek into the world of safari hunting and the collectibles that come with it. The couple hosting the auction shares personal stories about their travels, making each lot seem even more special. The auction specialists even get in on the action, trying on headdresses and handling rare collectibles with care and precision.

At the end of the auction, each specialist walks away with their own unique finds, and some of their acquisitions are expected to fetch thousands of dollars at upcoming auctions. From tribal masks to rare swords, the "Safari Sale" offers viewers a glimpse into the world of high-stakes auction bidding and the amazing collectibles that can be found within lost and unclaimed luggage.
