Storage Auction Blog

In the age of consumerism and transient living, storage units have become a lifeline for many individuals and families. Whether you're downsizing, moving, or simply needing extra space, renting a storage unit offers convenience and security for your belongings.

However, failing to keep up with payments can lead to the dreaded scenario of your storage unit being auctioned off to the highest bidder.

To avoid this distressing situation, here are some essential tips to keep your storage unit and belongings secure:

1. Understand Your Rental Agreement

Before signing on the dotted line, thoroughly read and understand your storage unit rental agreement. Pay close attention to the terms and conditions regarding payment deadlines, late fees, and the auction process. Knowing your rights and responsibilities upfront will prevent any surprises down the road.

One of the easiest ways to find stuff for sale at storage auctions is to check out the online storage auction websites. They all show photos of the storage unit and let you bid on units from anywhere. One of the best is Lockerfox.com, but you should make sure you know which storage auction website has listings in your area - they are not all the same. A certain auction website might have auctions posted from a large self-storage operator in your area that has many stores, so that would be a big win for you and make your bidding easier.

There are two different ways to buy contents in a storage unit: online or in-person.

Both have their pros and cons, but they’re very different from one another.
