They Tried To Intimdate Me For Buying Storage Unit I Bought An Abandoned Storage Unit

[@joedoesitall856]

Wow, the fact that the storage business allowed them to come in while you were unloading the stuff is unprofessional and should not have been allowed. That could of gotten really ugly if you didn't handle it the way you did, great job.

[@grdr545]

It's a setup between the storage company and the previous unit owner, she probably paid management and they told her she can go in and get her stuff after it sold

[@randywissler9923]

My rule when I buy a storage unit is, if you show up wanting any of your stuff, leave me your number and anything that's like related to a family members death or birth or wedding, I'll get it to ya, anything other than that, your outta luck. You knew you had a monthly payment and you let it go for awhile. Sorry bout your luck. Call me an asshole if ya want, but it ain't personal, it's just business!!

[@LuisGarcia-fg4jp]

Business is business brother I'm sure they wouldn't had done the same for him

[@ecck2]

exactly brotha, they act like they had no clue that they were gonna lose the unit as if the storage facility doesn't reach out multiple times before resorting to this!

[@Upppp9]

Exactly. If you aren't willing to profit from other people's struggles, you're in the wrong business!

[@_DB.COOPER]

Lots of auction items there. COSCO pallet items also. You could see the bidders number on some of them. I do these weekly, estate sales and auctions also, up to 4 a week sometimes. I wouldn’t give them anything until I loaded it up and sorted it out at my shop.

[@deborahd.6228]

Exactly! Someone won our unit in Martinez on Arnold Drive. We've had 2 moves since leaving Martinez. 1st was to Nevada and now Texas. Husband has work related injuries. I drove from Nevada to the Martinez storage on Arnold Drive a few times & got freaked out with the mountain driving (very steep!)using a 2 wheel drive truck loaded with stuff. Husband's injuries are too bad to do driving much of the time due to pain so since 2010 to now we diligently paid until this year when unit rate increase along with other costs have become too much. We contacted public storage to close it out, fair and square. It went up for auction as a 'manager's special' with winning bidder getting our 'packed out unit' for $840 on June 10. We let the district manager and the Martinez storage manager know the buyer/s can reach us if they have any questions. Why? Because my husband had a collectible WWII hand un in it's original presentation case with authentication papers, a 100+ year old Smith and Wesson rifle in like new to unused condition and a signed copy of a very old book by William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania with authentication paperwork too worth $6K or more today in 2024. There is older/possibly collectible radio equipment and a Sharper Image plug in Plasma Ball along with many more 1st edition, collectible and rare or out of print books, Harlick professional ice skates, Nordica after ski boots that copies available today on Gorsuch are close to $2000, rollerskates, a new printer, culinary items and more. Whomever won this packed out unit could make north of $25K, so good for you! We hope it helps you and your family! Yes, it's not a happy thing to forfeit 'stuff' we just hope you can sell most of it and that the books and good things don't go to complete waste! The legality of all of this shocks us that people who default think they can just waltz in and confiscate what is no longer theirs but used to fulfill the debt to the storage company without the law stepping in!

[@plantationsecurity]

You should have made Tyrell hear a little pop

[@Un-CommonSensei]

State laws differ, and solely due to default of payment they can not sell off all the property unless it's considered a abandoned. the people were there so it's not abandoned, they storage facility only had the right to sell off what they need to make it back.. which they had sold for only a few hundred bucks...so they'll sell you thousands of dollars worth of others people property and leaving them liable as the seller not the buyer. So for you yeah your safe but are you really going to justify and try to make it out to be a noble thing to help rob others for arbitrary fees just because you can get away with it!?... There are a lot of other ways to feed your family! And no your not a bad person just seemingly a cold hearted logistics one that has a false sense of justice when it benefits you! Your taking families life possession and memories, but hey at least your kids ate off of someone else's misery so it's ok right! Is blood money ok too!? 😅like it's not inherently a bad thing but it's kinda pathetic trying to justify it! 😅

Well said

[@angelaroberts1278]

We bought a big 10x15 unit online, un- manned, everything done online including getting gate code etc, so no people at the unit. Inside unit. We were half way in when a man came up on us saying hey this is his unit. Wanted it back but we paid up so couldn't take a loss. Sooo awkward and kind of scary. He was homeless, living in his car and had no way of paying for it but he lingered around for awhile and we ended up calling the facility. Could give him his personals but had no $$ or room for anything else. Be safe out there

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

That’s not fun situation

Yeah All out the holy dollar and not the people that are down on their luck.

[@markfoster1304]

That bottle in the ice chest was DTF.... Down To F....Find.

[@gtagupos8480]

From my knowledge if you bought the storage you own the items and what was owed to the storage company is paid off with your purchase. In some states the overage that is received is owed to the previous owners. I say this cause it feels like you were being nice to let them keep the items you purchased however if they also receive the money from the purchase you also gifted them possibly hundreds or a couple thousand worth of dollars. (If my statement didnt make since hopefully this will clear it up. The previous owners could owe $1000 to the storage and its brought to an auction it sells for $4000. The storage pays the owed dept of $1000 leaving a remainder of $3000 which is owed to the previous owners. If this is the case the previous owners received their forfeited property and extra cash in hand)

Magnet to sort thru costume jewelry helps to rule out pieces fast when sorting... see you on Whatnot. Great video.

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

Thanks for the tip! I actually am amazingly on point by sheer visibility of the color .

[@trish002]

A magnet will attract the metal used in clasps too so it's not a true eliminator of costume. It's an easy & expensive mistake to make.

Rhodium plated sterling silver is attracted to magnets. Same with Gold with Rhodium plating. So you have to be careful that you're not losing money!

[@ares3914]

That jetski would've made your money back. I would've told them the same thing the storage facility tells them, pay your bills or it's being auctioned off. I would've taken everything and told them it's no longer theirs. It's fairly yours once it's auctioned. If they wanted it they'd have to pay for it.

I think you will do good on the unit. It's unfortunate that the facility didn't step in and get them to leave the property. They lost their unit. It's sad, but that's what happened. You paid your hard earned money for it. You are one of the most kind and generous storage buyer! ( most would have told them to kick rocks) I know you're just doing what you think is right. Way to go Pirate! God will bless you for this kindness!

Hate those sorts of sitautions. Always awkward, and potentialy dangerous. Was doing a house cleanout for a landlord, in the middle of a rural area, and the day before we had come across multiple guns (incuding a sawed off), loads of prescription drugs under various names, among other sus stuff, and the former owners of the stuff show up, including their son who was, fresh out of jail....they had had 2 years to remove the items...they wanted us to return all the furniture, which I had sold for a grand total of $20 for a trailer load, as it was pretty lousy stuff. Was a sh*tshow.

[@bearhardcorepicker]

@@StorageAuctionPirate Definitely wasn't a highlight of the year...

I held storage auctions for a year and in one instance, the family that lost the unit participated in the auction, hoping to get their stuff. Someone outbid them, but was willing to give them personal effects, such as photo albums...etc.

I know you had the trailer on your truck but you should have secured that jet ski so they didn't come take it back. I would have asked the storage place if you can secure it there outside the unit so it's not taken or set it in another empty unit for a day or two. That's worth like 700-800

The facility people should have made them leave until you were done. 😕 I think I would have told them whatever I needed to in order to get rid of them, cleared the unit out quickly and go through it for the good stuff, then taken all the junk stuff back to the facility and let them deal with it. I'm glad you got a good unit but that should not have been allowed to happen.
