Why do you think a storage facility would want to limit the number of buyers at their auction?

I would say crowd control, or parking issues. That aside, I'm not sure if it is legal for them to place that limit in light of the fact that the law calls for it to be a public auction.

So it's okay only if you make it in? What's next, people camping out in line just like with concert tickets and Black Friday.
