lol, I support this. GO ahead boycott it. I will enjoy the peace and quiet and get my lockers lower priced because of it. SO ya I support yall boycotting it. But you wont see me boycott it.

That's the spirit, jrossjr!  I figured there would be many people with your attitude.  That's what keeps the auctioneers raising the buyer's premium over the years from 5%, to 7%, now 10%, Sotheby's now charges 15% on some auctions, why not 20%?  You won't mind, no matter how narrow your profit margins becomes.   It's folks like you that will ensure that it keeps going up over the years.
Good job.....

Update: 

I contacted the auctioneers (American Auctioneers) and they naturally told me they only auction the boxes, and that I needed to contact the storage company directly, Daly Movers.  I did so and was informed that "other moving companies from all over the country use them all the time" to store things on behalf of their clients.  They told me that the lot number stickers I found on the boxes were simply their way of keeping track of the boxes while they are with them.
I found that odd, as these lot stickers look the same as the kind used at auctions.

All of the boxes I had bought had been gone through previously (packaging on clothing inside the boxes ripped open, etc).   Even if these previous companies do "ship things on" to Daly Movers for their clients, I am sure they go through everything first. 

Also, why on earth would a client ship something to one mover, who would then ship it from another state onto California to store,  when all the box contains are National Geographic magazines and other worthless magazines from 2003?  Isn't that a lot of money to spend to ship and store out-of-date magazines and books you're never going to look at again anyway?  I have my suspicions about that.
If it's personal stuff at a vault auction... it could come from anywhere (in this case, other moving companies) and it certainly has been gone through.  Beware.

Hi there,

I am new to storage auctions, and a few months ago was burned in a way I didn't know was possible.  I think you should be warned about this:  I recently went to an auction at one of the biggest storage facilities in Los Angeles; I bid on a non-descript locker with old furniture, many boxes of papers, and several large duffel bags of clothes.  I got it for under $200, so I thought I wouldn't take too much of a loss on it if there was nothing there.

The furniture was heavy but falling apart, but I had bought it for the duffel bags of clothing.  Sure enough, as I thought there were almost 20 pairs of jeans and jean jackets in the duffel bags; not many were name brand, but I could at least sell those.  
That is, until I discovered that the clothes were so mildewed that nothing was going to get it out.  After multiple washings, I gave up.
Well, I knew I was taking a risk.   Now I had a locker with heavy useless furnture and boxes and boxes of papers to throw out; there were hundreds of family photos including framed wedding pictures, however, and I felt bad that the owners had lost those.  
I told the facility that I wanted to return the photos, and one of the staff inadvertantly informed me "Oh, don't worry about it; that locker has been up for auction THREE TIMES already, and the owners never contacted us.  It's been over a year; so don't worry about it.
I asked her how it was possible that it could have been up for auction three times, and she said "well, no-one bid on it before, and when that happens, we wait three months and then put it up again".  I guess in the hopes that people will have forgotten about it by then.
That explained why the clothes were so mildewed:  they'd been sitting there for a year, when they'd told us it was only three months.
I was so disgusted I walked away from the locker to let them clean it out themselves, and forfeited the cleaning deposit.  

Now here's the kicker:  I found out online the other day that ANOTHER sucker bought the same unit I walked away from three months ago!  He complained about a locker that sounded exactly the same as mine, at the same facility.  That's right; this storage facility put the same locker up for auction a FOURTH time, and another guy bought the same crap, not knowing the history.  This storage facility simply keeps the crap they can't sell in their units until someone pays them for the privilege of cleaning out their locker.  
Is this legal?  Is there any regulation of this?  

Please be advised:  if they say it's only three months old, don't believe them.  You could be looking at a locker that has sat there for over a year, and been auctioned off over and over again until the facility can get someone stuck with cleaning it out for them and paying the dump fees.   It never occurred to me that they might do that; I should have left a note behind taped on one of the boxes saying "Warning:  This stuff is a year old and you are bidding on garbage they can't get rid of".  

Has anyone else had a similar experience?  Thanks for any input.
