Looking for self-storage companies in the west suburbs who auction off abandoned storage units.

QUESTION:

Looking for self-storage companies in the west suburbs who auction off abandoned storage units. If anyone has ever participated in these, I'm also wondering approximately how much the units go for, if they allow you to look through the contents first, etc.

ANSWER:

I've been to a couple. They usually open the units and sell off the stuff in lots of 5 to 10 boxes at a time and you don't get to look in the boxes first. $50 usually takes one lot.
Unboxed, or more valuable stuff goes for more. They are well attended auctions.
I was amazed at what crap some people pay to store. Boxes of newspapers for example.
