Title: Auction w/ 10+ arcade games in Old Bridge NJ 4-18-07
Post by: USSEnterprise on April 09, 2007, 02:15:15 pm: Just saw this in the classifieds of the Asbury Park Press. There's going to be an auction at a Public Storage place of 4-18-07 at 3651 Route 9 Old Bridge, NJ 08857, with bidding starting at 11:30a. Say they have, among other things, 10+ arcade games.

I can't go, so I figured I'd share with those that possibly can.

Buy them, and then put them in a storage unit.

Post by: ChadTower on April 10, 2007, 02:48:10 pm: I've been to a few storage unit auctions. You'd have to already have a unit in rental for them to allow that. Generally, they make you buy the entire contents of a unit, no matter what they are, and you have 24 hours to remove them. After that they become property of the storage company.

At least that's how the work in MA.

Why can't you buy the contents in the auction, then turn around and rent that same storage unit for the next month? Do they let you do that?

Probably. That is if they don't already have it rented out to someone else.

Don't know, the folks that run those auctions here aren't much into explaining them.

It may be that to bid you have to be registered with the auction company, too, and here they don't do that at the auction location. So if you're interested, check that before showing up.
