STAY AWAY FROM THESE STORAGE FACILITIES... THEY ALWAYS STAGED THEIR UNITS, AND HAVE ROBO/GOST BIDDERS THEY IKE THE BIDDING AMOUNTS AGAINST THE NORMAL BIDDER TO UP THE PRICE AND STORAGETREASURES CONDONE THIS BEHAVIOR BUT WOULD QUICKLY PUNISHED THE BUYER BASED ON INCONSIDERATE STATEMENTS OF INACCURATE FACTS... SO BEWARE OF THESE SCAMMING FACILITIES: EXTRA SPACE STORAGE (GOULD AVE, KENNEDY BLVD, ETC) STORQUEST, STORAGE KING, LIFE STORAGE - WORST (ENGLEWOOD, NJ)

I am a private seller. I've recently been on the look out for storage unit that is not on their prohibited list which took a long time because of my area. When I found the storage unit I made sure it wasn't on the list and I even called them to make sure there wasn't going to be any problem with that facility. They re-assured me and I purchased the unit. All night I placed the items on my unit and I worked on the listing that night and my facility was not showing up on my account so I had to call next morning and add the facility and when I posted it the auction was immediately canceled. I called they first said it was because my credit card was not on file, I have them my card info. Nothing was still working, I called someone named Elly then answered saying the facility was just added to the list coincidentally so I was not able to post the auction. I spent $300 on my unit and was on the phone with them prior so many times and no one said anything until I decided to post. They said there is nothing they can do and that it was added on the 10th of February but the other representative said it was the day before so they were contradicting themselves. Very unprofessional and doesn't care for their sellers or buyers.

Fraudulent site

They will charge your card without consent or confirmation. I strongly suggest holding onto your money and avoiding this site.

Poor auction
March 18, 2021

When bidding on units this company is terrible at letting people know any thing about bidding and charge to much.

The auction post on "Storage Treasures" include a photo of a staged storage unit dated after the alledged lien was created. The staged photo showed a printer box and was represented as having electronic item's in the unit. All the boxes were filled with trash except a broken moniter. When I brought it to the attention of "Storage Treasures" the irregularities they told me they do not require their seller to not do anything illegal or deceptive. I see now hy "Storage Treasures" has such a low review rating. This is what I recieved in an e-mail from "Storage Treasures". I made several phone call and was told it was between me and the seller and they were not responsibnle.

Hello Dale,

Thank you for contacting us at StorageTreasures. We understand your concern. We do extensive training with the facilities, which includes suggesting that in order to preserve the integrity of the auction they have to follow all local lien laws. They do use our software but they check the boxes saying the local lien laws are being followed. I would recommend reaching out to the facility manager or upper management if you feel otherwise.
If there is anything else we can help you with, do not hesitate to call us at *******503 or reach out to us at *******@storagetreasures.com.

Very deceptive
June 20, 2017

It sounds fine until they mess up. Then the MGR-ART (WHOS A CONDESCENDING A HOLE W NO MGMT SKILLS) CONTACTS U AND TELLS U BASICALLY, UR STUPID OR CANT READ.
I WON BID BY DEFAULT DUE TO WINNER DID NOT PAY DEP BY NEXT DAY by S. T. GUIDELINES@ 445 next day. I contacted facility which confirmed the winners non pay, I waited for my Email alert as bk up buyer. Never got an email. When I contact MR ART AGAIN, HE SAYS" FACILITY DID NOT REQUEST A BACK BUYER... WTF? THAT IS S. T. POLICY WHEN U SIGN UP. HE GETS RUDE WHEN CAUGHT IN A LIE THEN SAYS, "ITS IN POLICY RULES"... SO IF UR 2nd bidder, legally won by DEFAULT, how can a FACILITY say F UR BID AND JUST RELIST OVER THE 2nd bidder. This is BUSINESS AND S. T's CHILDISH MGR is ALLOWING FAVORTISM FROM FACILITY'S TO OVERRIDE ST RULES. THATS ILLEGAL AND FAVORITISM WHICH COULD B BUDDIE BUYING W NO $avail and LEGAL WINNERS R LOSING BCUZ OF THIS. THE PLUS IS A QUICK RESPONSE W TERRIBLE BS TO THE BIDDER. IM VERY UNSATISFIED W THE MGR.

Good morning Andy,

We are sorry you feel this way. Unfortunately, the information you were provided is as accurate as it can be. Since we are only a conduit of the sale; we cannot determine when a bidder has not followed through with their obligations. It is up to the storage facility to contact Storage Treasures in order to determine if they want a backup bidder. Based on the information provided, the facility allowed the winning bidder more time to pay and clean-out the unit.

This is allowed per our Terms of Agreement in page 9 Section 4:

4. Terms of the Seller's Sale to the Buyer
This Service is solely for the online collection of bids, in order to make public storage auctions held at self storage facilities more widely accessible to the public while minimizing the inconvenience to the storage facility. Therefore, all terms that do not need to be established by the Company for the proper functioning of the Service, shall be left to the Seller to delineate with the Buyers or to negotiate with the Buyer. For example, the Company shall not establish reserve/minimum bid requirements, an expanded deadline (beyond the 72 hours specified) to empty the contents of the Unit(s), access to the Unit(s) by the Buyer, or timing or method of payment by the Buyer.

Please keep in mind that the Seller is the storage facility and the Company is Storage Treasures.

Because of this part of the agreement the winning bidder did not breach their agreement and no backup bidder were requested by the storage facility because of their willingness to work with the winning bidder.

We hope that this information will clear up any confusion that may have been caused.

I am a swap meet vendor who buys lien units for resale. Covid shut down live auctions in Hawaii. Storage Treasures is the only game in town now.
In 2020, I purchased five units. The first three ranged from soso to excellent.
Everything went sideways on the last two lockers. On the forth one, I paid $100 for a 5 x 10 filled with heavy equiment with grainy photos that were staged. I entered the storage office to put down my deposit for clean up and come face to face with a large poster encouraging the tenants to donate their unwanted "junk" to be auctioned off for "chariy"
I specifically unclick managers specioals and charity lockers every time I click on a locker. The Storage Treasures web page is rigged to include the undesired units with each unit, so I need to be on the ball, and I am.

I open the unit to find it full of broken pressed wood furniture and a hand truck(heavy equipment?)

The cost of disposing of this crap was more than my $100 deposit, so I walked away. Bear in mind, Storage treasures got their fee regardless of what I encounter. I was forced to cut my losses. They have no grievance with me, yet they suspended my account anyway. Apparently, it's not enough to be a victim of these a-holes, they demand willing victims.
