The way I see it, once I put my lock on that locker, everything behind that door is mine. If the storage company wanted to sell it back to the previous owner, they shouldn't be auctioning it in the first place.
You cant have your cake and eat it too. We are paying some decent money to these auctioneers and storage companies, why would they want to kick a gift horse in the mouth? Whats the alternative? Not auction the unit and keep losing revenue because you have a tenant that won't pay?
If I was approached, I would be level headed and let them know I want to go through my stuff first and if I didn't feel the unit would be a good flip then I would inquire about selling it back to the previous owner.
Tax returns, pictures, Juniors kindergarten tote full of his crafts.. all this stuff is mine. I give it back because I can't sell it and I do try to be a decent human being. The very second a previous locker owner starts making legal threats; there stuff is going straight to the dump, I'm not going to play around.
If an auctioneer tried pulling that crap on me, I won't attend any more of their auctions. Enough people do this, that auctioneer will start losing money.
If the storage company was forcing them do this crap, same thing. I won't do business with em. Then again, Dallas Fort Worth has plenty of auctions any given day of the week.
