I was looking into renting a 10x10 unit. The manager tells me that there was an auction going down in a few minutes..

I decide "I like this idea." So I went along with them.. Took part. This was a large unit so I said to myself, "nice, must have big stuff, like furniture and such."

Being the gambler I am, waiting, saw it was still only $160. Bidded with this kid.. I won the unit at $300.

Opened the unit.. A car, computers, queen sized nice bed, some furniture, TV...

:cool:

Not bad for a move-out day.
 
Nice. A lot of people make a living out of that. Have you ever seen "Auction Wars"?
 
Pictures! I see a blog or thread opportunity here. :cool2:

Loghead, good to see you here again. Hope that all is well. :wave:

I wonder if the storage place owners knew what was inside before having the auction.

Maybe they don't care about the value of the units contents and just want the stuff gone and the money owed.

That is the case, yes (bold).
 
And if the storage place owners know it is junk and run bids up, someone might get mad. :dunno:

They actually don't go inside the unit beforehand so they don't know what's in there.

It's basically a gamble and the bidders know the risk.
