EXCLUSIVE: Someone might be bidding on your lost suitcase. With storage auction series emerging as the hottest sub-genre on the unscripted side, Spike TV is doing a variation involving lost pieces of luggage. The network has ordered Luggage Wars, a half-hour pilot from Gurney Prods., the company behind Spike’s highest-rated unscripted series Auction Hunters, which features a duo traversing the country to bid on storage units in search of hidden treasures. Similarly, Luggage Wars will follow a group of industrious and resourceful individuals known as “baggage bidders”, who travel the country in 
search of fortune, going head-to-head at lost luggage auctions. The battle for baggage becomes fierce when bidders strategically team up to drive up prices. Strategy also comes into play with baggage assessment methods ranging from simple analysis of the bag’s origin to using high-tech night vision goggles, metal detectors or even handheld ultra sounds. That is because bidders are forbidden to actually touch the luggage. Looks can be deceiving as a luxury brand suitcase may only contain soiled clothes while a shabby bag may contain anything from ancient Egyptian artifacts to outrageously expensive jewelry and even cash. I just wonder what happens if a viewer watching the series recognizes the luggage they had been desperately trying to locate…

I remember when Spike was labeled the man’s network…
Cause man o’ man do I know a bunch of guys who wanna watch douchebags bidding on baggage.
I think its so interesting to see what other people have packed away. Its fascinating to me.. I suppose its not for everyone, but I’m surprised to see so much negativity before its even been seen!
How about Toilet Wars? Who has taken the biggest dump?
If little people or Kardashians are dropping the deuces, then you know TLC will not be out bidded.
is it the apocalypse already? my goodness i lost track of time…
Lammmmeeeee
Can’t wait for “The P.O. Box Conflict” debuting next summer.
FFS people, turn off the TV and pick up a book before watching this garbage.
Dear Spike:
The series of my new show sells itself: “Guess what I’m Holding Behind my Back”.
And the players get double points for correctly choosing which hand.
Sharon Levy should be embarassed at the crap she’s putting on Spike…once a very promising network. On the other hand, word has it,she’s desperately looking for another job.Take it and just get out of their before you do anymore dasmage.
Bring your hate elsewhere! It actually sounds like maybe you have something personal against these people? Change the channel if you don’t like it! My bet is YOU’LL BE WATCHING!!!! haha Sharon wins! Meanwhile you’re at home writing hate on your cpu loser! ;p
Speak for yourself. I am a life long people watcher and I love seeing how the different player’s minds work, as they decide what to bid on and what to limit they’ll set. I also love their group dynamics. It’s much more intresting than if they were just playing a game, because these guys are making their living this way.
C’mon lighten up people this sounds like hella fun! Haven’t you ever wondered what’s in other people’s luggage?? Now we’ll find out!! I personally cannot wait. Let the Wars begin!!!
This show looks DOOOOOOPPPPPPEEEE
I guess it’s time to scrap my show about worlds most brilliant explosions. Too manly for Spike.
“The P.O. Box Conflict?” Whoever wrote this is not a human being. Part of the Berman coterie of blackmailing scumbags.
Call me when somebody finds the case with the vibrator and the note slipped in by the TSA officer.
Hun?? Border Wars is a show. Luggage Wars and Cupcake Wars? Would rather watch paint dry.
This is what happens when you let a broad try to run a MANs network! Men don WANT to see fuckin Reality garbage-thats for friggin bored housewives and dumbass kids! Get back to MENS shows!
How many cats do u have? Be honest.
This show looks horrible! I lost my luggage recently, and I find this show offensive as well as the idea that the airlines allow such a concept to happen. This is some bull#*%!….
I know I’d be pissed off if I saw my lost luggage (that the airlines said they couldn’t find) on Baggage Wars. Is this some kind of scam the Airlines are playing to get more money…keep your luggage then sell it to the highest bidder? WTF???
This show may be entertaining but it would nice if every new show airing on almost every network wasn’t a lame spin off of another lame spin off. It seems that no one is capable of generating an original idea any more. First the history channel quit making shows about actual history, and then discovery channel followed. Now spike has obviously sold out too. Maybe for a nice change these channels could air a show that is centered around their actual purposes, such as education or exploration, instead of just trying to entertain simplests with nothing better to do during the weekday nights
