How You Can Make Money On Storage Unit Auctions

By Morgan Lee


The popularity of storage unit auctions can be attributed to the internet and television which alert the public when a bid event is scheduled. Many people have made a business of bidding on left behind items and then selling the items for a profit. With a little timing and luck, one can purchase an expensive piece of merchandise for pennies on the dollar.

One who is starting out looking for bargains at a storage center should contact storage centers in his area, it is best to start locally. This will help reduce the costs associated, and one can start making a profit faster than if he rented a truck and started driving up and down the state. One will be surprised to find that there are a lot of storage companies in his local area, well within a reasonable driving distance.

Use the telephone book when looking for storage centers in one's locale. Contact each storage center and ask if the center puts up discarded items up for sale, and when the bidding events are scheduled. Make friends with the people on staff at the center and ask them to call when an event is scheduled.

The best way to find out where the events are held in one's region, is to go online and look up bid event search service. Some search services are free to use, but the better search services are paid subscriptions services. But, the person starting out in this business should utilize all the free services first before paying for a subscription in order to keep his start up costs low.

There are many free sites on the internet for the person new to this business. But once one becomes successful one will want to pay for a service online to find bid events. The paid services provide more pertinent information regarding bid events, and the subscription fee will be made up quickly once one has bought bargain merchandise and sold the merchandise for a good profit.

As in any type of bidding event, it is important to keep emotions at bay. Do not overbid on any item, and set a limit for each item. Remember, the object is to find a bargain, not to compete with other bidders.

The storage unit auctions are becoming more popular as more people are looking for more ways to make extra income. A lot of people are making a decent income, buying items at bargain rates and selling these items for a profit. Bidding events take place in every city every month or sometimes every week.
