Lien auctions
iBid4Storage
iBid4Storage is an online auction marketplace for self-storage lien sales in North America. Facility operators post units that have gone to lien, registered buyers bid online against a countdown clock, and the winner settles and collects directly with the facility.
Registration is free, and bidders can search auctions or set notifications for sales near a chosen area. A winning bidder is invoiced immediately and given the details needed to collect the unit. Operators who want to run their sales on the platform can request a demo, and the site publishes a blog and FAQ on lien sale practice, including the operator's legal duty to post a general description of the personal property in a unit going to auction.
Auctions listed in September 2026 covered both countries, including Public Storage locations in Quebec, a facility in St. Albert, Alberta and a 1-800-Self-Storage.com location in Novi/Wixom, Michigan, with high bids running from a few hundred dollars up to $20,301. Two contact numbers are published, 1-844-424-3669 and 289-913-6022.
What the platform charges operators, and what a buyer pays beyond the hammer price, is not stated on the pages that rendered; the about, FAQ and contact pages were blocked when the site was crawled. Confirm fees, payment terms and the pickup deadline with both the facility and the platform before bidding.
