Title: Record Smashed - Public Storage advertises 391 units on one caravan!
Post by: Travis on August 15, 2014, 11:18:14 PM
I think this record will stand for a very long time. Public Storage advertised 391 units on one caravan. One location had 78 units!

Do you think they'll sell them all in one day? I'm thinking not. Anyway, at an auction like this, you want to bring all of your cash and wait until the middle of the day to start bidding. After about 100 units, no one will have any money left and you can pick up units for next to nothing.

Check out this legal notice, it's insane.

OMG, that's a lot of lockers per site to auction off in 1/2 hour per site, including travel time between sites.
So how did it go anyone? were there a lot of locker withdrawals? Did the auctioneer smoke through them? Did the caravan run really late into the day, or next day, or reschedule?

I wouldn't even show up to an auction like that until they were on their 3rd or 4th location. I'd bring a lot of cash, dozens of padlocks and a lawn chair.

biggest one i attended had about 80 units , all sold in 1 day. i was fairly new to the game and only got 4. I would be a MESS if i went to one that big now, i generally take down half the units i see in this area because of great value

I honestly think that when it comes to cloud storage, people are going to find a way to sniff out the simplest and easiest application to use that comes with the lowest price, or no price tag at all! People are smart.

Cloud storage? Am I missing something?

Wait a second Mark, you probably thought our forum was about "Online Storage" based upon our name, right? Sorry, bud, you're in the wrong place for tech talk.

Wow that's incredible. The Public Storage caravans here are pretty fun, but I think the most units we've seen in a day is around 40. Hope there were some great deals! I missed the location, where did that take place?

that means the auctioneer will be 2 hours late and once she does arrive she will sit in the office for another 45 mins doing paperwork.

i'm not bitter.

Right! I love Public Storage auctions, but they sure could improve their efficiency. Perhaps one day they'll just partner up with us. One can always dream, right?  :)

thats crazy. id love to checkout an auction like that, in my area only like 8 maybe 10 per unit and thats big. most of ours are like 1-3 units. i imagine something like that would draw one heck of a crowd though.

Post by: Cheesehead on July 13, 2015, 09:56:26 PM
This past Saturday, a Self Storage place was advertising 107 UNITS for auction.  It was down to 80 at showtime, and still at 79 after one poor soul waded through the crowd to pay up.  Below is a shot of a part of the 100+ attendees. 

http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/Cheesehead99/media/IMG_1579.jpg.html

The bad news was - this place was disgusting.   Dirty, moldy, and weather beaten.  They started with a whole row of 5x5s.  They announced they would open five at a time so all 100+ could get a look.  Well, they popped open the first one - and the side walls of the locker were made of PARTICLE BOARD!   :a102:   And the concrete floor was two inches thick in dirt and mold.   Everything inside was moldy, dirty, and smelled BAD.   One regular said, "This place hasn't changed, it's where storage lockers go to die..."   Yuck.   Obviously every drop of rain that has fallen in the past 5 years went through these rooms.

About the 15th locker or so, they started popping open 10x10s - and announced "This unit has not been opened since 1986!!"  (With pride)   Well, the door went up and everyone scattered from the swarm of yellowjackets.  Inside the room was a 3-foot high fire ant hill and mold everywhere.   The smell about made you gag!   Everything inside was beyond ruined - and there was furniture, bed frames, tool boxes, etc.   Would have been a great unit if the outside weather would have stayed outside.  (The auctioneer kind of dialed back his "pride" when the door rolled up on this soon-to-be dump run).  I waited around until unit 25 in 100 degree heat before I left.  It was so bad even a couple whales left about the same time.  The auctioneer started every 5x5 at $50, and never got over $40 for any of them - and started the 10x10s I saw at $100 - and only one room went over that.   

Lesson learned - I had never been here - this was their first auction in MANY years - and I marked if off my list to ever go again.  Particle board walls, dirty units, not a very clean site - all equals crap on top of crap.    I can't believe the site owners let their lockers get into such bad shape.  Nothing was really sellable.  It was a real shame.  I guess if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.  :73: 

Good luck out there!

That reminds me of this auction I went to in Houston. It was a strange place, half storage facility, half apartment complex. They were auctioning off around 70 units and 60 of them would have been refused at donation centers. Same situation, trashy units, buyers leaving, overly enthusiastic auctioneer, units from decades ago. One of the few auctions I've left while in progress.

Not much going on here in the last month or so...whats up with that?

Travis seems to be MIA lately, I've been trying to reach him without success.
