LIVE AUCTION GUIDELINES

If you are attending the LIVE AUCTIONS, follow the guidelines below:

Arrival and Registration: Arrive 15-20 minutes before the auction begins. All buyers must register with a valid photo ID to participate. You must be at least 18 years old to bid.
Bidding Rules: Bidders must be present when the auctioneer announces the terms and conditions. Units are sold as a whole, and viewing is limited to the doorway—no entering or handling items.
Payment and Taxes: Payment is Cash Only, unless otherwise stated. Sales tax will be applied to all winning bids. Tax-Exempt buyers must present a valid sales tax certificate at registration.
Deposits and Clean-Up: A $100 cash deposit may apply, but that may vary depending on facility rules. Buyers are responsible for cleaning and broom-sweeping the unit within 48 hours. Facility dumpsters may not be used.
Personal Records: Buyers are required to return personal items such as photos, IDs, and important documents to the storage facility as soon as possible.
Liability and Conduct: Buyers are responsible for their safety and behavior. Disruptive actions or prior non-compliance may result in bidding refusal. Children and pets are not allowed near units, and smoking is prohibited.
Legal and Compliance: Any items deemed illegal, such as weapons or contraband, must be handed over to local authorities. The auctioneer or storage facility reserves the right to void sales due to errors or legal issues. Units are sold "AS-IS," with no warranties or guarantees.

Storage Auction Services ensures professionalism and fairness, offering buyers a smooth and transparent auction experience.

ONLINE AUCTION GUIDELINES

Registration: Registration is required prior to bidding, and participants must be at least 18 years old. All buyers must create an account with username/password, provide basic personal information, contact information, and credit card information.
Bidding Process: Bids must be placed through the online platform and are legally binding. Be sure to review the terms and conditions before placing a bid, as all sales are final.
Unit Inspection: Photos of the units are provided on the platform for visual inspection. Buyers are purchasing the entire unit as shown in the pictures. Storage Auction Services does not guarantee the condition, value, or origin of any items in the unit.
Rate: The Buyer’s Premium of 15% is added to the final winning bid.
Payment and Taxes: Payment must be made in full within 24 hours. Your credit card will be charged a 15% buyer’s premium plus 10% of the winning bid amount. The remaining balance will be paid in full at the facility with cash unless another payment method is accepted by the facility. Accepted methods of payment will be detailed on the platform. Tax-Exempt buyers must provide a valid sales tax certificate at the facility to avoid tax charges.
Deposits and Clean-Up: A $100 cash deposit may apply, but that may vary depending on facility rules. Buyers are responsible for cleaning and broom-sweeping the unit within 72 hours or otherwise specified. Facility dumpsters may not be used.
Personal Records: Buyers are required to return personal items such as photos, IDs, and important documents to the storage facility as soon as possible.
Liability: Buyers are responsible for their own safety when retrieving items from purchased units. Follow all facility rules during removal.
Legal and Compliance: Any items deemed illegal, such as weapons or contraband, must be handed over to local authorities. The storage facility reserves the right to void sales due to errors or legal issues. Units are sold "as-is," with no warranties or guarantees.
Platform Conduct: Disruptive or non-compliant behavior may result in suspension from future auctions. The platform reserves the right to cancel bids or block accounts for violations of the terms.
