"Storage Wars" star Rene Nezhoda hit the jackpot with one of his finds in the Los Angeles area.
Just like in the television show, storage lockers are auctioned off when the owner stops paying the bills on them. Potential buyers only get a short glimpse into what is inside the lockers, and in this case, the buyer bought a locker chock-full of Kobe Bryant memorabilia for just $375.
Nezhoda then bought the Bryant merchandise from the buyer for $13,000 and was hoping to triple his profit by putting the items up for auction. However, Nezhoda decided to return the items to Vanessa Bryant, according to TMZ Sports.
"Everything has been worked out," Nezhoda said. "A number of personal items, worn items, and paperwork were sold directly back to the Bryant family."
Nezhoda still plans to sell some of the items that weren't worn by Bryant.
The locker contained 35 pairs of shoes, Lakers practice gear, a Lakers all-access badge that says "Mamba," tax paperwork, a mink coat and much more.
