Auctions

How It Works

Be sure to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to a scheduled auction. Before the auction starts, we will have a sign in sheet and a set our terms and conditions of the auction. Cash is the acceptable form of payment and sales tax will be charged if the buyer cannot show a valid resale license and proper identification.  Storage auctions are very different then most types of auctions, as you are bidding on the entire content of a unit. Units are usually viewed 1 by 1 with the viewing limited to the doorway entrance of the storage unit or container. The bidding starts after all bidders have had a viewing of the property. Bids sometimes start out as low as $1.00 and can proceed upwards with the property being sold to the highest bidder. Based on our experience average lots or units seem to sale for under $300.00. Don’t forget, the high bidder must remove all contents of the unit purchased within the time specified by the self storage facility. Unfortunately, we do not allow the use of garbage cans or dumpsters and units are expected to be broom swept clean.
