HOW IT WORKS FOR BIDDERS

From first look to collection in five clear steps.

Understand the unit, know what you will pay and know exactly what happens if you win before you create your account.

01

Create your bidder account

Register your bidder account and complete your profile so you are ready to participate when the right storage unit appears.

02

Find an auction

Browse units, photos, descriptions, location, access details and collection requirements. Check the distance before bidding — collection and removal of the contents are your responsibility if you win.

03

Bid your way

Place normal bids or set a maximum bid and let the system bid for you up to that amount. Live bidding and our 2-minute soft-close protection give bidders a fair opportunity to respond near closing time.

04

Win and pay securely online

If you win, complete payment through the platform. Your checkout includes the winning bid, the 17.5% buyer’s premium and any cleaning deposit shown for the auction.

05

Verify, collect and clear the unit

Complete any required identity verification, follow the auction’s collection arrangements and remove the entire job lot. The facility records the handover and finalises the cleaning-deposit outcome after inspection.

Know the total

17.5% buyer’s premium

The buyer’s premium is added when you win. Any cleaning deposit is also clearly shown as part of the amount payable.

Know the distance

Collection is your responsibility

Check the facility location and collection windows before bidding. If you win, you are responsible for collecting and removing the contents.

Know what you’re buying

Job lot · as is · where is

Your bid is for the unit contents as a whole, based on the listing and photos. Sales are final subject to the auction terms and rights that cannot be excluded under Australian law.

MAXIMUM BIDDING

Set your limit. Let the system do the bidding.

Enter the maximum amount you are prepared to bid and the platform can bid on your behalf only as needed, up to that limit.

2-MINUTE SOFT CLOSE

No last-second sniping.

A qualifying bid placed near closing extends the auction by 2 minutes, giving other bidders a fair chance to respond.
