About

Bid13 is an online marketplace connecting storage facility operators with people interested in buying the contents of abandoned or delinquent storage units via auctions. Facility owners can register for free and list units for auction, giving them a convenient outlet to dispose of unclaimed goods; buyers can search by ZIP code or region, view auctions on a map, examine public auction notices, and bid on units. The site includes buyer and facility FAQs, a forum for community interaction, and features like email alerts for new auctions nearby. It also offers “success stories” from buyers and feedback from facilities about ease-of-use and speed of unit clearance. The goal is to streamline the auction process for both sides, helping operators to clear units and recover value, and buyers to find opportunity items.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I own a 200+ unit facility and switched to OpenUnit after a great demo with the owner, Taylor. The “Shopify for storage” pitch, free-for-owners model, and quick website sounded perfect. We gave it a full year. Unfortunately, it didn’t deliver. The website template and built-in Stripe are nice, but everything else feels unfinished.

Cons

  • Main Issues We Ran Into • Promised “game-changing” reports never arrived — still super basic after 12 months • Auto-pay declined cards require manual re-runs every month (no bulk retry) • No multi-location or head-office reporting • Support takes 2–4 days for even simple things like transfer a person to different unit (30 seconds to do on SiteLink) • Delinquency list is full of $0 “ghost” balances; reconciliation is a mess • Reports can’t be sorted, filtered, or exported properly • Mobile phone integration doesn’t show caller ID so if you miss the call, you can’t call them back • Stripe payouts took 14–15 days at first (not the advertised 4) • Website is fast to launch but zero real SEO/PPC help despite ads claiming it • Owner went from charming to dismissive when we raised problems My bookkeeper literally laughed at their “simplified reporting” claim. The Worst Part After we canceled and switched, they’re still using our facility name and logo on their site despite REPEATED requests to remove it. Our lawyers are now taking action.
