Abandoned Property Being Auctioned on eBay - Old Coins, Paper Currency, Jewelry, etc.
I found this event pretty interesting and I dig that it’s accessible to everyone…
Check out eBay from noon on December 4, 2008 to December 15, 2008 - The state of Massachusetts is auctioning off the contents of abandoned safe deposit boxes!
As required by state law, safe deposit boxes that have not been maintained for seven years are turned over to the Treasury’s Abandoned Property Division
The treasury then attempts to locate the owners or their heirs. If an owner is located, the property is returned. If not, the personal property is appraised and put up for public auction. Any proceeds remain available for rightful owners to claim.
Some of the items available for auction include gold and silver, rare currency, such as paper money and coins from around the world, and jewelry such as rings, pendants, gemstones, pocket watches and wristwatches.
Keep an eye on events like this. When it’s cold outside we have to resort to online treasure hunting and this event looks good to us!
