All across Australia, astute buyers are cashing in on Australia’s latest Self Storage innovation, a Self Storage website called iBidOnStorage.com.au.

This online platform allows Self Storage facilities to put up abandoned storage units for auction, and get people to bid online for the unknown treasures within. This allows the Self Storage facility to empty the space, and return to its profit making ways.

For bidders and buyers, it is an opportunity to make cold hard cash, as many of these abandoned storage units are filled with old bicycles, appliances and other valuables that can be kept for personal use, or quickly sold for a bag full of cash.

A recent sale in Queensland, saw the contents of a storage unit sell for $350.00, and within was the entire stock of a haberdashery store. Maybe not gold in the form of precious metals, but gold in terms of a quick turnaround.

The quality of the contents was good, new and easy to sell, so the buyer made a handy profit.

The whole online process is not much different from what you would have seen on all the popular storage auction programmes on TV. From Auction Hunters to Storage Wars; the only difference here is that you don’t have to go eyeball-to-eyeball with vest wearing sweaty auction hunters, you don’t even have to get out of your PJs.

So, if you’re looking for Storage Auctions Queensland, Storage Auctions NSW, Storage Auctions Victoria or even Storage Auctions ACT, then iBidonStorage.com.au is the destination for you.  And if you`re in the other states, don`t fear.  It`s only a matter of time before auctions begin to appear in Western Australia, Northern Territory, South Australia and Tasmania, including Regional Areas.

And if you are the owner of a Self Storage facility, then there is no better way to sort out your abandoned or unpaid units, than a quick turnaround auction through iBidonStorage.com.au.

My personal advice is to enjoy the thrill of the chase, the hunt, the find, the bid and the score.

Oh yes, there are a few rules attached to the bidding process… First, you can`t come in at the last second with a winning bid, as they operate a soft close, meaning the auction will extend by 2 minutes if the last bid comes within 1 minute of closing time. And you have three days to clear the unit, and by clearing the unit, you must remove everything from the storage unit.

So, go out there and hunt, find, bid and score.
