(as most people close and tape their storage boxes when putting them in the units.

Been doing this for 15+ yrs, and I can tell you that maybe 10-15% pack this way...all the rest pack with a shovel!!..I hate too raise a door and see black garbage bags....then there was the day we rolled up the door and there sat a Jaguar XJ-6.....

When bidding on a unit that is supposedly "freshly opened" how do you know that the management did not go through the unit prior to auction day and snag anything that may have been valuable? Would you have any way of knowing that you are not just bidding on the leftovers from other units stacked into 1 "new" unit and put up for auction?

well let me tell you how it works in the state of South Carolina.
1. the owner of the unit has until the start of the auction to payup, if they pay and open their unit and stuff is missing, they can call the cops and the owner of the biz, can and will be prosecuted for theft....we have had people show up just as I'm raising the door with money in hand too payout.

2. when you don’t pay your monthly bill by the due date, the site manager places a lock along with yours onto the door(that day)that way someone can’t sneek in and remove the stuff under the cover of darkness….fast forward thru the certified letters and such, 30 days they cut off your lock, open the door, take a picture or 3 and list what they can see(for the legal ad)…90 days no payment…it goes to auction….Note: most that I’ve seen are $900 to $2000 in arears of back rent.

I've noticed that since the "Auction Reality TV" explosion...Our crowd size seems to just keep getting bigger at every auction....are you guys/gals seeing the same?...and do you think it is from the "Shows" or maybe due too the Economy?

General Storage Auction Talk / Whole Bin or By the Piece?
« on: December 26, 2010, 01:30:11 PM »
I work for a small auction company(5-6 ppl)...we do "By the piece" type auctions.
the main reasons we do this is the auctioneer owns and runs a small flower shop, and the help(including me) all have regular 40 hr jobs...
 We like by the piece because you just bid/buy what you want, no "Junk" to haul off.

just wondering what you guys/gals prefer?

Hello All, My name is Roger and I've been in the auction biz for 15+ years...we have a small auction company of 5-6 ppl and we specialize in storage bins(we do the by the piece type auctions). I'm what's referred too in the biz as a "Table Man" I pull the next item too put up for bid, give the Auctioneer a brief description and show it too the bidders. I love this Game...the strange items, the look on the crowds faces, the "Good" deals etc.

 I'm in South Carolina(Greenville) and we have some very good auctions here and I Go to / Work all that I can (Gotta 40 hr day job)... It's just too bad that the Whole Bin folks seem to only work on Tue,Wed or Thrusdays around here...we always run on Saturday's, "Oh well, you can't have it all"   Roger
