Storage Unit Auctions at Grand Teton Storage in Ammon, ID
Every so often, a storage unit goes unpaid long enough that the contents have to be sold to cover the past-due rent. That's what a storage auction is: not a dramatic event, just how the industry recovers unpaid balances when a renter stops responding.

How Storage Unit Auctions Work
When a unit falls behind on rent for long enough, and the renter can't be reached, the contents become eligible for auction. The unit is opened up, bidders look over what's inside from the doorway, and the highest cash bidder wins the entire contents as-is.
It's the same basic process used at storage facilities across the country.
We run our auctions on a Saturday at 10am.

Frequently Asked Questions About Auctions
Why do storage units go up for auction?
They go up for non payment or the owner relinquishes thier rights to the unit.
Can I see what's inside before bidding?
Bidders can typically view the contents from the unit's doorway without touching before bidding starts. Call 208-523-9820 for details on how viewing works for a specific auction.
Is there a set schedule for auctions?
No. Auctions only happen when a specific unit qualifies, so there isn't a fixed recurring date. Call us to find out if one's currently scheduled.
How do I find out if there's an auction coming up?
Call 208-523-9820. We'll tell you what's currently scheduled, if anything, and what you need to know to attend. Upcoming auctions are also posted on our Facebook page.
Does this mean my unit could get auctioned if I'm late on rent?
No, not from a single late payment. Idaho law requires a renter to be in continuous default for at least 60 days before a facility can legally hold a lien sale. If you're worried about your account, reach out to us and we'll help sort it out well before that.
