Sydney Airport selling thousands of items of lost property from just $10 in online auction – 7NEWS

Local news:
Thousands of lost property items left at Sydney Airport are now up for sale in an online auction — and it’s all for a good cause.
Over 2500 items, including electronics, jewellery and accessories, left behind at the airport can be snagged for a fraction of the regular price.

Over the past decade, the auctions have raised $1.6 million for various charities.
Sydney Airport general manager of corporate affairs Josh Clements said: “It’s clear the public love nabbing a bargain in support of a worthy cause.
“There’s something for everyone with plenty of great tech, clothing, accessories and beauty products as well as a host of unique items like a massage table, an electric scooter, a leaf blower and a quintessential Aussie favourite, a jaffle maker (sandwich press),” he said.
“It’s great to see these unclaimed items find new homes, while also supporting a charity that’s offering comprehensive scholarships to help level the playing field for high school girls facing disadvantage.”
In 2023, Sydney Airport returned more than 5000 lost items with passengers, but what remains unclaimed gets donated to local charities or repurposed through the Lost Property Auction.
“Opening bids start at just $10, which means shoppers have a chance to grab a great deal while also supporting an impactful charity,” Theodore Bruce Auctioneers director, Casi Prischl, said.
The following auctions are currently open for bids:
Goods can be posted out at charge or picked up by appointment.
