Storage Auctions at 229 Storage

At 229 Storage, auctions are held only when units are abandoned or rent goes unpaid. While we prefer to avoid this, auctions are sometimes necessary — and they’re open to the public under Ohio state law.

Auction Basics

  • All sales are cash only
  • Units are sold as-is, where-is
  • Auctions are publicly advertised and open to registered bidders
  • Bidders must bring a valid photo ID and register for a bidder number

What to Expect

  • Arrive 30 minutes early to sign in
  • Preview units before bidding (viewing only, no touching)
  • Highest bidder wins — all sales are final
  • Purchased units must be paid in full at the sale and emptied within 24 hours
  • Personal documents found inside (IDs, photos, etc.) can be returned to the office

Helpful Tips

  • Bring cash, ID, work clothes, gloves, and trash bags
  • Flashlights and packing supplies are recommended
  • Be prepared to remove all items, including trash
