What To Look For When Bidding on a Storage UnitThe Fun is in the mystery boxes, when you bid a unit your not allowed to go inside, your not allowed to look into boxes or dig. It's a guessing game that if done skillfully can become very lucrative. I once made $300.00 on a $21.00 bid full of mystery boxes. Look for signs of management already having gone through the unit. Items strewn everywhere, boxes open, nice stuff sitting directly out in front etc. Look for things like how the people who owned the unit packed their things were the careful or did they just throw things together etc.

Look for signs that they spent money like expensive packing boxes etc. O.k another funny story, a man was apparently living in a unit. My question was where did he go to the bathroom?
