New Storage Auction Portal Ready to Launch its Website

With the newly arrived and successful A&E’s “Storage Wars” and Spike TV’s “Auction Hunters” making debuts on cable TV, people have begun flocking to storage auctions hoping to experience the same excitement and find similar treasures hidden inside the bins and boxes as the bidders they watch on the shows. Now professional bidders who have been working the storage circuit for many years find themselves standing next to wide-eyed novices. And what it takes to be successful is good instincts, some bidding skills, and of course, some luck. But the first step is finding a good auction. Arriving on the scene is a new online portal that will help professionals and newbies alike find upcoming storage auctions quickly and easily.

StorageTreasures.com is nearly ready to launch its new website which will act as an online storage auction information portal. The site will likely give greater exposure to storage auctioning happening across the country and is designed to bring auction enthusiasts and storage facilities together in an easily accessible way. Storage facility operators across the country will be able to post real-time information on listings and details of an auction, allowing them greater ease at publicizing and promoting their auctions.

“We are thrilled to be rolling out our fully operational portal just as storage auctions are gaining more and more public attention,” said Storage Treasures President and Founder Lance Watkins. “To put it plainly, the portal is a game changer for the industry and we are pleased to call it our own.”

The site will also offer a wealth of legal compliance guidelines to help facility owners follow lien laws and conduct auctions in accordance to the processes of each individual state. When a renter falls behind in payments there is a system unique to each state in which the individual must be notified and a legal process must be adhered to before an auction can happen. The lien laws in California and Nevada are more lax and therefore many of the TV shows are filmed there because of the high and continuous offerings of storage auctions.

StorageTreaures.com will also act as a storage facility directory covering the U.S. and Canada. The site offers storage auction schedules and extensive site-specific guidelines to potential bidders. The website operators consult with industry leaders to ensure auctions are conducted within the law and that tenants, buyers and auctioneers are protected during the course of an auctioning event.

Serving both the industry and community, searchers can find auctions at different radiuses from a buyer’s home with a few quick clicks of the mouse. The site provides location, time, date, contents and buyer filters and alerts. It claims to have participation by even the largest self storage companies and bills itself as the “ultimate resource for facility owners, auctioneers and buyers.” The website is set to be running by the end of January. . StorageTreaures.com can also be contacted by phone at 800-213-4183.
