Charlottesville Self Storage

Charlottesville Self Storage Auction Info

Self Storage auctions are common within the self storage industry and are open to the public. Charlottesville Self Storage has storage auctions throughout the year that are held at our facility. Below are some guidelines to help you when attending a self storage auction.

Guidelines about Self Storage Auctions:

• Please park in the available parking spaces or specified area. Do not block the aisles or other vehicles with your vehicle.
• The auction is open to the public and there are no sealed bids. 
• Sign in at the office and agree to the Auction Rules to attend the public auction.
• All units are sold As Is. There are no warranties or guarantees on the items you purchase.
• Potential bidders may view the contents of the unit from the doorway only. No bidders are permitted inside the units to touch or move any items.
• The entire contents of the units are sold. Winning bidders are fully responsible for removal of entire contents of the purchased unit. Failure to do so will disqualify the bidder from participating in future auctions.
• You must secure your unit with your own padlock. We sell padlocks in our office.
• The Auctioneer sells the unit to the highest bidder for CASH immediately after the auction in the storage facility office.
• Winning bidder will be given 24 hours to remove the items from the storage unit. If additional time is needed, please contact the Facility Manager.
• Dumpster on our property is not to be used to dispose of any items from your purchased unit.
• Optional: Please return personal items (pictures, documents, etc.) to the office so that they may be returned to the original owner.
• All sales are final.

We reserve the right to cancel any auction without prior notice. Please check with our office or the Auctioneer the day before or the morning of the auction to be sure that it is still planned for that day. If you have any other questions, you may call our office.
