In a video that they released at the time of the sale, it was made clear that the Kobe Bryant items were not going to appear on Storage Wars, primarily because the show is not filming episodes at the moment.
They also made it very clear up front that the storage unit did not BELONG to Kobe Bryant, but belonged to a reality television co-star who did fashion work for Kobe and Vanessa Bryant.
Without question, Rene Nezhoda planned to turn around and sell that merchandise for a hefty profit.
The couple specialize in finding rare merchandise, then succeeding in locating buyers for valuable goods obtained by grabbing up abandoned storage units.
