Yes they do.  Its easy to tell when they already cut the lock.  I like the ones where they cut the lock while  your there.  It's almost like opening a gift.

I guess the first question is, how much does it cost to keep the site up?
And how much the profit from it.
The other thing of it is does it help you?

The one I walked away from was staged, in fact all of the 14 units they sold that day was staged.  I felt bad about it, but when a facility dumps there trash in a unit and sells it as someones personal stuff, that is misleading the public.  They advertised only 3 units up for auction, but ended up selling 14 units.  I'm sorry but as I see it they made no stipulations on leaving a clean unit, and if they are not going to be honest about what they are selling the heck with them.  Its not like I just walked off and stuck them with it.  I called and showed pictures of big dead rats in it, and let them know one did bite me... 

I guess that is the thing, all year long I get christmas stuff and don't know what to do with it. Maybe I should get a shed and stock pile it all year long.  Until it's time to sell....

Where I'm at it don't really matter.  They only have so much to spend, and if it is a nice furnture a few scratches will not matter.  Bottem line, is that when people don't have money to spend your not going to get it....

I did it once.  It turned out to be years of trash, rats, mice and nasty crap.  I didn't feel bad because it was staged to cover up the crap.  If they cut the lock and it is unstaged it would be a different story, but this place already had them open.

Good job,
Good luck.

I still think he is an Idiot....
