Storage Hunters Containers: All Auction Containers

Every container auction in Storage Hunters starts with one important decision: is this container worth bidding on? As you progress through the game, you'll unlock new auction locations for containers with bigger containers, better loot, and higher entry requirements. Some are perfect for beginners trying to make their first few dollars, while others are designed for late-game players chasing the most valuable items. In this guide, I've covered all Storage Hunter auction containers currently available in Storage Hunters, where to find them, how much Net Worth you need to unlock them, and when they're actually worth bidding on.

All Auction Containers Storage Hunters

Tip: Higher entry fees don't necessarily guarantee better profits. Always inspect the container before bidding.

Junk Yard Container

The Junk Yard Container is where every player begins their storage hunting journey. It mainly contains inexpensive household junk and common collectibles, making it ideal for learning how auctions work without risking much money.

Although the rewards aren't spectacular, these containers are incredibly cheap, so it's easy to make steady profits if you avoid bidding wars.

Common Loot

Quick Overview

Should You Buy It?

Absolutely. If you're just starting out, these are your bread and butter. I usually stick to low bids and focus on buying several containers instead of spending everything on one auction.

Back Alley Container

Back Alley Containers are your first real upgrade.

Instead of random household junk, you'll begin finding electronics, collectibles, and items that can sell for considerably more. This is where auctions become much more exciting because one valuable item can completely pay for the entire container.

Common Loot

Quick Overview

Should You Buy It?

Definitely. Once you've unlocked Back Alley, I wouldn't spend much time returning to Junk Yard containers unless you're trying to complete collections.

Stable Garage

Stable Garage becomes available once you've built up a decent amount of Net Worth and reached the Farmyard.

The loot shifts toward farming equipment, household goods, and bulkier valuables that are generally worth much more than what you'll find in the Back Alley.

Common Loot

Quick Overview

Should You Buy It?

Yes. Stable Garage offers a nice balance between affordability and profit, making it one of the better containers during the middle stages of the game.

Barn Garage

Barn Garage is the final milestone before you reach the Shipyard. Unlike the Stable Garage, these auctions feature larger storage spaces and a much stronger selection of industrial equipment, premium furniture, and valuable collectibles.

You'll need a Net Worth of $50,000 before you're allowed to bid, making this container a true late mid-game challenge. If you've reached this point, you should already have enough experience to quickly identify valuable items before placing a bid.

Common Loot

Quick Overview

Should You Buy It?

Absolutely. Barn Garage is easily one of the best containers available before unlocking the Shipyard. The higher item count gives you more opportunities to spot valuable loot during the inspection phase, and the relatively low $25 entry fee makes it an excellent investment if you can accurately judge what's inside.

Small Container Garage

Once you reach the Shipyard, you'll unlock Small Container Garages.

While they're physically smaller than some other Shipyard auctions, don't underestimate them. They're one of the first signs that you've entered the game's late progression, with access to much stronger loot pools than previous areas.

I'm still collecting detailed loot information for this container and will update this guide as more data becomes available.

Quick Overview

Should You Buy It?

If you've reached the Shipyard, these are absolutely worth checking out. Since the entry fee isn't too high compared to the other Shipyard containers, they're a great starting point for late-game auctions.

Large Container Garage

Large Container Garages require the same Net Worth as the Small Container Garage but cost twice as much to enter.

Because of that, you'll want to inspect these containers carefully before committing to a bid. The larger size usually means more potential loot, but it also attracts tougher competition from other bidders.

I'll continue updating this section once I gather complete loot tables and average item counts.

Quick Overview

Should You Buy It?

Usually yes, but only if you can clearly spot enough valuable items to justify the higher cost.

Warehouse Garage

Warehouse Garage is currently the largest standard auction container I've encountered in Storage Hunters.

It has the highest entry fee among the currently available containers, which usually means experienced players are competing for it. Even before the auction begins, you'll want to carefully inspect everything visible from the entrance.

I'm still documenting the complete loot pool, so I'll update this section with more detailed statistics after additional testing.

Quick Overview

Should You Buy It?

If you have the budget, Warehouse Garage is usually worth prioritizing over earlier containers. Just remember that the higher entry fee means overbidding becomes much more expensive.

Container Progression

One thing I really like about Storage Hunters is that every new container feels like a milestone. Instead of simply getting larger storage units, you're gradually unlocking entirely new auction locations as your Net Worth grows.

Which Container Should You Prioritize?

If your goal is to progress as quickly as possible, this is the order I'd recommend:

Final Thoughts

Storage Hunters keeps its progression simple: earn more money, increase your Net Worth, and unlock better auctions. Every new container opens the door to stronger loot, but it also comes with higher entry fees and tougher competition.

If you're just starting out, focus on building a solid bankroll through Junk Yard and Back Alley auctions. Once you unlock the Shipyard, the Small Container Garage, Large Container Garage, and especially the Warehouse Garage should become your main targets, as they represent the current endgame progression and the best opportunities for high-value finds.
