Many people looking to make some money online don’t realize how lucrative the storage business is. Actually, millions of people around the country lease storage units every month, and many of them default on their monthly rent payments, leaving their belongings in storage to be offered for sale on an online auction listing. We’re not just talking about people leaving their old clothes and furniture in these storage units either, but valuable equipment and automobiles. What kind of stuff can you find in many storage units?

What about wholesale merchandise, heavy equipment like (yes, believe it or not) things like a backhoe, a bulldozer or two, a John Deere tractor… you name it; it’s been left in a storage unit somewhere. Ever take a good look at the listings found on eBay for heavy equipment? Surprised that someone would buy a grader or a dump truck or a trackhoe? Don’t be. They’re in demand all over the country by independent contractors and businessmen looking to save a buck, or a thousand or so, on heavy equipment and tools. Storage unit auctions online are the best place to find such deals.

Sure, who in their right mind would abandon a multi-thousand dollar truck, caterpillar or crane in a storage yard or facility? You’d be surprised. Most of this equipment comes from big name brand manufacturers like Deere, Komatsu and Terex.

Actually, sometimes such equipment is confiscated by law enforcement agencies as property or assets of guys and gals who have run afoul of the law and whose estates are liquidated to pay fines and so forth.

So if you happen to be looking for a paver or for another piece of heavy equipment, check out storage units auctions online before you visit the manufacturers yourself. You’ll save thousands in the bargain.

Such online auctions can be found listed throughout the Internet as well as from law enforcement and government auction websites and listings. In some cases, you may be required to appear in person at such an auction, so always read the fine print before bidding on equipment or merchandise.

Selling and reselling such equipment is a lucrative business for many, so if you’re looking for a new career or moneymaking option, consider it. It’s better than a repo, and a lot safer too.

In rural and agricultural areas, farm and ranch equipment is in huge demand, and resale opportunities abound. Many construction companies that store their heavy equipment in storage locker facilities go out of business and must abandon their equipment prior to filing for bankruptcy or other legal matters.

Purchasing and reselling such types of equipment and merchandise requires that the buyer know at least the basics about such equipment, how to determine condition and where the best chances and opportunities to sell are located.
