I have gone to many storage Auction and have found some great deals. When buying from storage Auction look at the boxs first and see if they are marked like u-haul and other high cost packers. Check for items that are marked by room mostly I buy Bedroom mark boxs because I find jewerly there and  guns.

 I was at auction and box was marked bedrrom closet did not bid thinking maybe items was clothing but to my surprise items were 7 shotguns which made sense they were in the bedroom closet stored and were sold for 15.00 dollars

If you are into crystal and hummels also try to buy dinning room boxs most glass and decor are in this box.

Kitchen items are marked kitchen

Garage items are tricky sometimes just paint but could have tools

Other Auctions offer complete unit sale and  if you feel like working and cleanning and surprises this one is for you. Just dont bid to high I brought one and to my surprise lady was a school teacher and had books stacked in boxs what a back killer and throwing books into trash cans was a chore still hurts lol

I was at a storage Auction and to my surprise the sons original owner was bidding on his own items and he knew what was in the boxs. Storage fee was about 28000 dollars and he brought just about everything back for 3500 dollars I just happen to hear him say what was in the boxs so I had to bid high on some but found some real good old item

Storage auctions are great place to go but dont be surprise what you might find (lady was living in one and had bed inside plus high heels and makeup kits) ( Ashes dont know if human or pets) ( 5000 dollars in cold cash) ( shots guns in boxs) ( high office Senator items best auction I went to high dollar items for pennies) (cars in storage pins) Some auction units are not open until auctioneer arrive there with buyers and locks are broken why you are looking. ( Hot wheel collectable items in boxs old and new) One Auction I went  boxes were closed and sold as is so we were paying low dollars but one buyer opened one box he brought and inside was high dollars new pants stacked to the rim in box. Auctioneer saw the items and started to  open box before auction started to sell high, so dont open your box for the world to see just a peek and close it.
