Storage Locker Auctions Vancouver BC

By

Storage Locker Auctions Vancouver BC are a great way for people to make some relatively quick cash. It is all about buying low (at a storage unit auction) and selling high…where ever you want. The storage unit  that rents lockers to individuals and companies have the right to recoup their money when a customer abandons the unit and fails to pay rent. Generally you will not know what you have bought until after the auction, so you can win some or you can lose some. It is a bit of hit and miss, but if you hit you can do really well. The definitive “how to” book can be found here:
Making Money A-Z with Self Storage Unit Auctions

What you need to do is contact companies that manage self-storage units in your immediate area. Ask them how often they schedule auctions for abandoned units and request mail notification, if available. You can also contact professional auction houses and see if they have storage unit complex as a client or aer planning on doing work for some storage lockers. They might even send out their schedule if you ask nicely Storage Locker Auctions Vancouver BC.

Storage Locker Auctions Vancouver BC Get In Early

Go and watch a few auctions just to get the feel for it. When you are comfortable with the process, get ready for some action. Find out if they have early inspections prior to the auction or the week before. On the day of the auction turn up early. Get in before the crowd.

Check the local newspapers for ads on when they may occur. So in Vancouver BC, the Sun or the Courier is likely your best bet. One newspaper, stateside, has noted that many of the attendees at storage auctions are veterans who show up frequently for sales. If you observe a few auctions before jumping in, you may benefit from using their strategies.

Get a feel for what is inside the locker, and look for brand names, high tech items and luxury items. Remeber you can only sell them at really reduced prices on Ebay or Craigs List, so you have to get everything really cheaply.

Storage Locker Auctions Vancouver BC What Else?

Another option is the Vancouver Police Department auction. This auction happens at least once a year of unclaimed property, evidence exhibits and safekeeping articles; assorted items are divided into “lots” and sold to the highest bidder. Bikes, drills, airbags, binoculars, cameras, Barbie dolls, clothes, jewelry, games, car seats – with a little luck and a charmed paddle, you can find almost anything for a decent price. Call the police department’s Property Office for the location and time of the next auction. This is a great way to spend less with Storage Locker Auctions Vancouver BC.

Please note: I am NOT able to send out list of auction time or places. You are best advised to contact the self storage companies to see when they have their next auction scheduled. Check out my post Where Can I Find Storage Unit auctions here. Webmaster, Storage Locker Auctions Vancouver BC.

    I agree with Jay. It’s not as easy as they make it look on TV, and it already has driven up the prices of locker units. I used to average around 1 unit an auction, now I have to give up and go home empty handed and my average is down to 1 unit every 3 auctions. The prices these newbies are paying, hoping for that one big unit is retarded. I can only hope that it will die down and let us that know how to do this, do this again.

    It is good to question the knowledge – you are right Rufus – the wrong local newspaper is quoted. Bad mistake. Thankyou for pointing it out.

  8. Rufus on February 23, 2011 at 4:35 am

    First of all I am laughing pretty hard at everyones comments and how most people do not have the patience to read an entire article. Secondly, you recommend reading the “Columbian” newspaper. I live in the Vancouver area and was unfamiliar with this newspaper. After googleing it I learnt that it is actually based in Vancouver Washington, not Vancouver BC. Is there a possibility that I am incorrect or did the author of this article make a mistake? I am not questioning your knowledge Mr.Webmaster but I was under the impression that they do not auction storage units in BC. I would appreciate a response to my question.

    Thank you

    yes unfortunately there is not a reliable central database of upcoming auctions, and I have made that clear in the post. I hope that other readers can understand this, and do some local research (local paper, yellow pages, ring local storage companies) All the best

    I have been buying lockers for years . Yes, some are good. Yes the bad out number the good. It’s fun and I enjoy it. It is a lot of work. You take all the crap with the good. Some times 100 percent crap. Come one come all. It doesn’t bother me at all.

    Now that there is a couple storage wars shows on tv every jackass in town thinks he is gonna become the next big winner. Its kinda funny to watch. All thats gonna happen is people are gonna WAY overpay for a bunch of crap. Those tv shows just totally screwed things up for the guys who were buying units previously. They must be pissed! You have better odds at the lotto now.
