Pay and collect
Win, and you pay online and download your invoice. Collect within the pickup window, usually 72 hours. Some facilities take a clean-up deposit, refunded when you leave the unit empty.
Buy by the unit, sell by the item
Each unit goes to auction as one lot, sold as-is. One might hold furniture and appliances, the next a shed's worth of tools, another boxes of collectables.
Check the listing photos, decide what it's worth to you, and bid up to your limit. Units are as-is, where-is, so what you see is what you're bidding on.

Questions
How do storage unit auctions work?
When a storage unit goes unpaid, the facility can sell its contents to recover what's owed. On Storage Punters the facility lists the unit with photos, registered bidders bid online, and the highest bid when the auction closes wins.
Is it free to join?
Yes. Creating an account is free and you don't need a card to sign up.
Can I see what's inside before I bid?
Each listing has photos of the unit. Look closely before you bid: units sell as-is, where-is, and all sales are final.
What happens if I win?
Pay within the time shown on the auction, download your invoice, then collect the unit within the seller's pickup window, typically 72 hours.
What's the clean-up deposit?
Some facilities ask for one, typically $200. You get it back when you leave the unit clean and empty.
What if I find personal papers or photos?
Hand them back to the facility. Every buyer agrees to return personal documents and photos found in a unit.
Who can bid?
Anyone 18 or over with a Storage Punters account.
