At iBid, transparency is key! We want all our bidders to feel confident knowing exactly what they’re bidding on. If items are removed from a unit before auction, it’s considered theft. Items removed can still be identified by the original owner and it is unlikely that the storage companies selling these units will take that risk. But fear not! Our storage partners are diligent in following Self Storage Association guidelines, including thorough inventory documentation. So rest assured, every unit is opened and assessed, ensuring a fair auction process for all. Our advice? Bid on what you see, not on wishful thinking! Happy bidding, everyone!
