Aloha Terry,
It may seem like a pain to call the auction site the morning of the auction but it will probably save you time and gas money if it gets postponed or cancelled. On Monday I attended an auction and I called about 2 hours ahead of the scheduled time. I was told that the auction was being pushed back 30 minutes due to a facility meeting. They also informed me that the number of units has changed from 7 to 4. I think its a good practice to call ahead……the storage facility was very helpful.
Good Luck!

I attended my first auction yesterday. I called in the morning to check if the auction was still on for the day and it was. I believe initially there were 7 units up for bid but by auction time it was down to 4 units with roughly 25 buyers.
The first unit was a 10 x 10. It had some trash bags, boxes, an AC wall unit, an old TV and some stuffed animals. I think it sold for around 400-430.
The second and third units were units that were about the size of a closet.
The second unit had 4 storage bins that held paperwork and family pictures. It also has the hood and grill of a Nissan (Altima) with various car parts…2 stock Nissan springs. The bid started at 20 and ended at 230.
The third unit had a loveseat the was in what appeared to be very good condition, a large mirror, 2 or 3 empty baskets, a small stereo box and 3 to 5 boxes. The bid started and ended around 350.
The last unit was a 10 x 10. I noticed 2 old suitcases, a small desk, an AC wall unit and 10 to 15 boxes and storage bins. This being the last up for auction the bid opened at 100 and moved quickly to 400. When it was all said and done the unit sold for 690. I thought that was a little high but the winner must have saw something he wanted or didn’t want to go home empty handed.
It was good to get the experience of seeing what happens, seeing other buyers, the bidding process and what units go for. I look forward to the next auction and possibly bidding on a unit or two.
Aloha,
Mojo

Aloha!! I’m Joe from Honolulu Hawaii. I will be attending my first storage auction on Monday and am looking forward to the experience. I probably won’t bid unless I see something of interest. I’m curious to see what units go for here.
See you at the auction!!!
