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

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.
