Purchaser The items ended up selling To the “Storage Wars” star Renee Nizoda For about $ 13,000 … the original plan was to make a fortune on the open market.
However, we are told Vanessa Bryant She learned of the auction and felt the items belonged to the Bryant family – so her representatives reached out to Renee before he put them up for sale in hopes of sealing a deal.
We spoke with Renee who told us, “Everything was done. A number of personal items, worn-out items and papers were sold directly to the Bryant family.”

However, Renee has managed to keep some items Kobe hasn’t worn – some cool shoes and shirts … and he plans to sell them for profit.
