Eddie Hall spends £12,500 on mystery container and makes a fortune

Hall picked up a good haul of items from the container.

Eddie Hall has proved he's got quite the eye for a mystery container, after revealing what he's bought in a £12,500 auction.

Hall is best known for winning the World's Strongest Man competition, and his subsequent rivalry, and then fight, with another winner, Hafthor Bjornsson.

The British weightlifter lost that fight, and, despite rematch clauses being outlined, it doesn't look like he's going to get the chance to avenge the defeat.

In fact, these days the 35-year-old seems more than happy to show off his hijinx on his YouTube page, recently taking a punch to the gut from Tommy Fury.

And in his latest bit of shenanigans, Hall bought mystery containers which used to belong to a jeweller for £12,500 in an auction, really tapping into the Storage Wars spirit, as you can see in the video below.

The former world's strongest man, with the help of some of his mates, used crowbars, hammers, power tools and even a tank, which he inexplicably owns, to get into the containers.

Hilariously, his start to finding out if it was worth the money took a huge knock, as he managed to smash an antique vase at the auction house in Macclesfield.

That cost him £1,000 to start with, meaning he'd essentially forked out 13 and a half grand to work out what might be inside the mystery box.

He firstly found 12 golden sovereigns, which he estimated to be worth around £4,000, to get him off to a decent start in a bid to make profit.

Tools, a diamond ring and some other bits were the next items to be discovered, but that no doubt wouldn't have been enough for Hall.

However, when all looked lost, in typical Storage Wars fashion, that is definitely never set up, the team found a Bentley at the back of the container.

Hall found the keys and began trying to start up the motor, but it wasn't having any of it. That was until they gave the battery a boost and he was underway.

Based on similar cars, the team reckoned that it had a value of around £40,000, meaning that unlocking the mysteries inside the container was worth it.

Certainly with an eye for a bargain like that, there's no need for Hall to get back into the ring any time soon, or even spend his days lifting ludicrous amounts of weight.

Of course, we don't expect the latter to stop happening anytime soon, after all, he can't always have extra content to show on his YouTube page.

Either way, he could make a decent profit from the car and all the jewelry.
