Most self storage facilities are forced to hold storage auctions or lien sales to vacate non-paying tenants. These auctions are held according to the terms outline in the Occupancy Agreement as governed by the state the facility is operating within. Our auctions are opened to the general public with most bidders’ buying for the purpose of reselling for profit. Storage auctions are a great way to buy secondhand merchandise for pennies on the wholesale dollar. If you are someone who sells at flea markets, garage sales or on e-Bay, you will probably find storage auctions to be one of your best sources for merchandise.
