Storage Auctions and Lien Sales
Most self storage facilities hold storage auctions or lien sales to vacate non-paying tenants. Self storage facilities will hold a storage auction or lien sale in any given month. These auctions are opened to the general public with most bidders buying for the purpose of reselling for profit.
Auctions accept cash. You are bidding on a unit or lot. View is limited to the entrance doorway. Then the bidding starts with sales for a little under $300 dollars. Most items are general household goods, furniture, electronics, clothing and personal records. Bidders may find money, jewelry, antiques and collectibles at these auctions. It is not uncommon to find someone's whole household or business in a unit, with that in mind, you never know what you may find.

- bizjournals.com/ states that housing slowdown leads to boom in mini storage units. Rising demand for storage space due to those renovating their homes or people losing their homes to foreclosure or babyboomers downsizing by moving into condos and smaller homes is leading to a spurr in the use of storage units.
Boat and RV Storage
- insideselfstorage.com/ Robert J. Hayworth writes about how Boat and RV Storage will continue to grow in demand due to increasingly restrictive city ordinances that ban the parking of large vehicles in residential areas. This has contributed to the popularity of boat and RV storage. Most cities restrict long-term parking of such vehicles, requiring them to be moved every 72 hours. Some ban all parking of RVs and boats in driveways, while others require a petition to be signed by neighbors to allow storage of vehicles over a certain size. Most new housing developments do not allow any overnight RV or boat parking, as houses being built generally have smaller yards than in the past. Many baby boomers are opting to live in adult communities comprised of condominiums and townhouses, which means there is often no yard at all.

Ghost, thats, interesting I would guess due to people moving around so much in California they will always have plenty of stuff to give a way, which would become a profit for someone else.
thanks great info
Thanks comment on this, I think there will be a bigger market in the storage unit industry with so many foreclosures on the market.

This Hub has some pretty good information I did not know--and I'm an Auctioneer! Or at least I was one, graduated from Western College of Auctioneering in Billings, MT, in 1980. The statement about the sorts of things one might find in a self storage auction kind of got to me, though, and points up the aspect of auctioneering that made me decide to get out of the business: This type of auction underscores a whole lot of pain and broken dreams. Unless you believe people WANTED to abandon an entire household of goods, which I doubt is generally the case.
Livestock and auto auctions are different kettles of fish, of course.
And I will admit that had I continued with last summer's plan of selling merchandise on eBay to make a living, self storage auctions would indeed have provided a rich source of "stuff" to sell...plus, of course, the excitement of the "treasure hunt", never knowing what you might find.
