"Storage Wars" star Rene Nezhoda hit the jackpot with his latest find 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 is hoping to double or triple his profit by putting the items up for auction.
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.
Nezhoda also says some very special items were included in the locker, though he wouldn't reveal what those items were.
In the description, Nezhoda says he was able to contact Vanessa Bryant's lawyers and is exploring if she wants any of the items from the locker.
The original buyer, though, has increased his asking price from $13,000 to $26,000, Nezhoda wrote in the video description, and they're trying to work out a deal.
"The 2 huge Wardrobe boxes that we didn't get to see that appeared to have bedding in them had more stuff on the bottom half of them : Some of the items include several pairs of Sean John Sunglasses that probably belonged to him directly since he works for bad Boy Entertainment , 5 pieces of Kobe Warms ups all used , couple of more pairs of shoes , another nice fur jacket , Versace Shoes Owned and Used by LITTLE KIM super BLING BLING LOOKING and a bunch more of Brand New Designer Clothes ! The seller increased his asking price to $26,000 for that stuff so we will see if we can work out a deal . SO THERE MIGHT BE A SECOND VIDEO COMING SO MAKE SURE YOU SUBSCRIBE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The unit originally belonged to Derek Roche and his assistant Antron Oliver.
