OK, this might not suck, but I didn't want to start an "Annoy the Crap Out of You" thread.
Went to a facility with 6 lockers run by the owners, not by auctioneers. (In fact, now that I think about it, other than the local U-Haul thing, most every storage auction in my area is run by the facility owners) There were about 50-60 people there.
Anyway, the annoying part is they don't make everyone line up to look at the unit, so there is a large wad of people in front of the locker. (see photo). The REALLY annoying part is someone usually in the middle of the pack will yell out "50 BUCKS" - and they take their bid and start up - before half the crowd has even seen the locker! This started happening at every locker and most bids were up to $300-500 before you got a good look.
Now I realize it's up to the facility to set the guidelines, and with no rules stated up front, it's every bidder for themselves. But does this ever happen to anyone else?
