Online auctions · open to the public

Good
finds.

Ready to find a deal? From time to time we put the entire contents of an abandoned unit up for bidding — furniture, tools, household goods, and every now and then something genuinely worth holding onto. It all runs online, so you can take part from home.

What is a storage auction?

A whole unit.

Storage auctions are a normal part of running a self storage facility. When a lease ends or a tenant stops paying, we eventually need to clear the unit so it's available for the next person who needs the space.

How it works

From registration to haul-out.

Start bidding →

We run our auctions through StorageTreasures, an online platform where you register, find the Stuff Self Storage location hosting the sale, and place your bids. Here's the whole path, start to finish.

01

Register

Set up an account on StorageTreasures and find the location hosting the sale. You'll add a card to verify your identity — but every payment happens at the facility, in cash.

02

Bid

Each auction runs for a set window, and the highest bidder when time runs out wins. We photograph each unit before it goes live, so the photos are what you're bidding on. What you see is what you get.

03

Win & pay

Won the unit? Payment is made at the facility and is cash only. The units stay sealed throughout — no one opens them ahead of time.

04

Pick up

You'll have 48 hours during office hours to clear the unit completely. See what to bring →

After you win

Picking up your unit.

Here's exactly what happens next, so you can show up ready.

  • 48 hours, during office hours — to clear the unit completely.
  • $100 cash deposit — returned in full once the unit is emptied.
  • Cash only — for both the winning bid and the deposit.
  • Everything goes with you — including anything you don't want. We can't dispose of items at the facility.

Good to know before you bid

Everything has to be picked up within the 48 hour window. If a unit isn't cleared on time, we may remove the contents and you could lose the ability to bid with us going forward. Once you've claimed a unit, everything in it is your responsibility, so if you come across anything dangerous or illegal, stop and let us know right away. We reserve the right to refuse any bid, and all sales may be suspended at our discretion.

Auctions work out well on both ends: we free up space for the next tenant, and you get a shot at a whole unit's worth of belongings, often for well under what it would cost new. Questions? Reach out to the location running the auction and we'll walk you through it.
