StorageBattles.com is an online self-storage auction platform, allowing storage facilities to post their auctions online. This eliminates the live auctions entirely. Please read the following to understand how online self-storage auctions will work for your company.

• The way StorageBattles.com works is easy

  Your facility would register on our site as a storage facility/seller. After registration is complete you are now ready to begin posting your auctions online as they come. You no longer have to wait for a group of auctions to get the process started or work around your auctioneer's schedule.

• Are you ready to post an auction?

  Before you post online you have to make sure to follow the lien laws in your state as you do normally, the only difference is you must state the auction is being held online at www.storagebattles.com (where you would normally have the facility's address) and you choose the end date of your choice. This end date is the same date you will enter online when posting your auction. If the tenant has already forfeited rights to their unit and you just have not had an auction yet - no problem, you will choose a date of your choice since you do not have to schedule an auctioneer.

Post an auction 

Once your lien notices are sent out you can cut the locks, take up to 25 high quality photos of the unit contents, and put a locking ID tag in place on the unit up for auction. These photos will be used to give buyers a better idea of what they are purchasing. The site is very user friendly; it takes only a couple of minutes to get an auction online to begin the bidding process.

*If you do not have locking ID tags we will provide them for you.

The storage auction business is growing.

There are rumors out there that the storage auction business is a big hoax and no one can make money buying and selling storage units.  These rumors were all started because people started finding out that the television shows, which show a portrayal of storage buyers making thousand s of dollars, were actually false and the producers of the show were putting items in the unit to create drama for the show.

Now, you would think that people would realize that this was only a show and that there is a reason that there is even a show in the first place.  There really are people out there, just like you and me, who have their own business buying and selling storage units and make profit on a daily basis.  You’re not going to make thousands every time you buy a unit but there is potential to make enough profit to feed your family and pay the bills. 

The storage auction business is not an easy task by any means.  Even to make enough profit to pay the bills can sometimes be tough.  Storage buyers take loses on a frequent basis but just like any business, you are going to take a loss from time to time.  It’s all about making the best educated decision possible.  If you are going to take a risk, make sure it is an educated one. 

Buy units cheap and sell the contents at a good price.  Only buy units that you can see potential in.  If you second guess a unit, stop there, don’t buy it.  Usually your gut feeling is right.  Only buy a unit if you strongly believe that you can make money off of it.  If you can purchase units at the right price, find a way to sell the contents, and be responsible with the money you make, there is great potential for you to do well in the storage auction business. 

Good luck to you, now get out there and start buying some units.

Is the Storage Auction Business right for you?

I hear a lot of people say that the storage auction business is a big hoax and that no one makes money buying and selling storage units.  Well, that’s not necessarily a lie.  The storage auction business is one tough cookie.  It takes a lot of patients and hard word to make money in this business.  If you are asking yourself, “Is the auction business right for me?” this post is exactly what you need. 

Do you like working a lot of hours?

If so, then you might be on the right track already.  I see a lot of people getting into this business thinking that all they have to do is buy a unit and everything will magically sell.  That is not the case most of the time.  There are a lot of random items in units that are hard to sell if you don’t have the right outlets.  Clothes, for example, are a tough thing to sell unless they are items that are unique or in really great condition.  Do you know where to sell clothes at?  If the answer is no, then you might want to do research about where to sell items at before you even purchase a unit. 

Do you have money to lose?

If the answer is no, then you shouldn’t even attempt buying a unit.  There is a great chance that you can lose money on a unit, even if it looks promising in the beginning.  If you lose money on a unit you still have to have money to buy another one.  If you don’t have enough money to buy a couple units and expect nothing back right away then you should probably rethink getting into this business. 

Storage Auctions

Storage Auctions are a tough business with people who have a lot of money to throw around.  Do your research before getting into any kind of business where there is risk involved.  You don’t want to end up worse off than you started.  So get out there and do some research about what to expect from the storage auction business.
