Everything is pretty visible for the most part. Their is a big bag right of the jackets, when I'm guessing has hockey sticks and gear in it.

In the 7th Photo, their is a whole container you can clearly see fulled with hockey pucks, potentially all gamed played pucks..

Say there is 40 pucks in that container at $40 each = $1600

I'm sure this is what the bidders are gambling on..

$1,610.00 so far with 19 hours left. Something smells fishy here.

Welcome to the wonderful world of online auctions.

I did a little more research on the owner. He has a son, who is a good hockey player, but never made it to the NHL.

I'm assuming the clothing and the gear is all of his equipment.  Kids love beats by dr. dre. They put his items in storage, since he probably doesn't live at home anymore.

As a kid, he probably had some signed pucks, given to him as gifts. I can see some being his own, as a forward, he might of kept his own pucks he scored with.

The kid is 19  and the dates on one of the pucks in 10-12  - so it all fits the narrative.

So that's the story, in my head. Whatever a 19 year old kid might own $$ or Collected is probably in the locker.

Is it worth the 1600+ 10% buyers prem.  That's not the gamble I'm willing to take..

And of course, auction gets cancelled with hours to spare.

I've been out of touch for a couple of days. Wow does anyone know the final price.

I've seen lockers go up over $500 in the last ten minutes of an auction
