I’m referring to the prowling leaches looking to gain off these bids.
It’s called ‘business’. Do you feel that way about undertakers and mortuaries, too?
“I’m referring to the prowling leaches looking to gain off these bids.”
Well, they are bidding in a fair auction.
Sometimes they do well, sometimes they do poorly.
Sometimes the storage place owner gets his back rent and fees; sometimes he does not. At least he gets something.
If there was no potential reward in bidding, no one would bid, and the storage owner would be stuck with someone’s dumped or abandoned things.
What do you suggest should be done instead?
What else would work? Enlighten us.

What are you talking about?
These people should have paid their bills. Really it’s just plain silly when you think about it, rent on these units is at most a couple hundred a month, some of these people have stuff in there worth thousands, if they’re having trouble paying they should either empty it or pick a couple things and sell them for the rent money. Anybody with $4000 worth of old coins in a storage locker that they lose because they didn’t pay the bill made their own bed.
Also remember the vast majority of lockers have a bunch of crap in them. That’s part of the gamble of the business. Maybe 1 out of 10 will have something really profitable in them, the rest the people are going to be trolling second hand stores to sell the junk at maybe a break even.
Either it is trashed or reused. Reused is better for someone wanting to pay less or who couldn’t afford new.
