I suspect that weekend auctions aren't common because the bottom line is that the storage auctions are a normal part of buiness. The auctioneer is in business, the storage owner is in business, and the regular bidders are in business.

Also, weekends would be the time when many storage tenants are accessing their units. I'd rather imagine a hoard of auction seekers would have a rather distrupting effect on the normal activities of Saturday morning at the units.

Is this where the expression, "Where's there's smoke, there's buyer." comes from?

eskimo1817,

Go ahead and ask questions that come to mind. If you don't ask, you won't find out. 

Let's see, you want to know if there are auctions nobody else  knows about so you are the only bidder or one of very few bidders. That would be pretty advantageous, wouldn't it? Considering, all the active members of this forum are out to make a buck, why would they tell a complete stranger their trade secrets if they had such a source?

Realistic answer: Cultivate a working relationship with storage facility owners/managers. It's a lot of work, highly time consuming, and may not even bear fruit. Remember the sales adage, "Winners do things, losers choose not to do."

Good luck on cornering the market on auctions!

Thanks, MM.

Thank you, Drew, for your thoughts.
