Online Storage Auctions / Re: The Future of Storage Auctions Has NOT arrived; online auctions will not prevail

Yep, doesn't show under the hood, doesn't show the interior...except for the odometer. I think it had to be a conscious choice not to show the dash, seats, etc. That certainly is EDITING (staging) for effect.
And if it was simply a mistake not showing the interior or under the hood, what does that say about the competency of the auctioneers.

In my area they let us walk in to the unit, walk around the car, open it if unlocked, open the hood and the trunk. Try that on an online auction. Can't be done, especially if they don't show pics which to my way of thinking would be obvious choices to make....UNLESS it would reduce the $ amounts that would be bid !
Edit:
Forgot to mention that unlike the regular box lockers we buy, in my area if you can go inside and really look at a car, you can certainly TOUCH it. That would answer the question about what the surface of the car in question here is like.
