WARNING!!! * WARNING!!! * WARNING!!! * WARNING!!! * Please do not make the same mistake i made.  take your time, and do your research. do not take walt cade's word, take what he says, and reference it by the fine print and the laws. they tend not to match. We were lied to so many times.  if you are a woman, do not show emotion because walt cade will use that to take advantage of you.  So much happened,  so many lies that it's hard to fit in a small review, but i will do my best.... I guess we will start from the very beginning. my wife inherited her grandmas house and entire contents, which consisted of a ton of furniture, jewelry, china, and much more. she didn't want to get rid of it. However, it was just too much.  we stored as much as we could and thought we would take the rest to an auction. now i'm not an idiot i know how auctions work, and I know you are not going to get retail for it.  but what walt cade did was disgusting. If we wanted to donate our belongings, we would have given it to charity or church.  when we brought our stuff to walt cade, from the second we unloaded it him and his staff were bragging about how well the things were gonna do in auction (any other auction i think it may have). how he had such a vast clientele from his time on tv show storage wars. still reluctant, my wife asked if there was a minimum bid.  he did honestly say there was no minimum bid,  however he followed that up with some story about some lawn mowers over in the corner that didn't get high enuff bids so he wouldn't release them to the bidder... which we later found out is not true and would be illegal if he did..(just another lie)  and the reason why items that retail for hundreds and even thousands of dollars sold for less than $100 even as low as $1... again, please consider this and search outside of Walt Cade website. you will find similar reviews. after we left, we went home, and i watched my wife cry her eyes out for over 24hrs when i finally said hey walt seemed like a decent guy.(I've never been so wrong) tell him we don't want to sell. offer him some money if we can pick it up and cancel service.  We offered him $600. and seeing a woman in distress sent walt cade's greedometer through the roof.  knowing that my wife was in distress, he thought he could capitalize.  and said she could only get it back if we paid him $1k + 3 days wages for his workers.  who, by the way, had not lifted a finger at this point. knowing we didn't have the money, we had no choice but to continue with the auction(looking at legal options now) so unwillingly and against our wishes the auction continued.  but please don't give out things away, we begged. he did his whole storage wars song and dance, you have very nice stuff and it will do well you will be happy.  which is another lie because we didn't want to sell. The money didn't matter, so the only thing that would have made us happy is to get her things back like we requested.  but no walt felt lining his pockets took precedence over being a good man, a good american, and a good Texan.  and literally gave our things away.  now i know everybody thinks their stuff is worth more than it probably is... except we had it appraised before we had it moved here from california (for insurance purposes). so when i say walt cade gave our things away i mean literally.  i took what little money i had and bid on a few very important things and got back what i could.  only to find out that not only does walt get a over paid 50% off seller end, but he also takes 15% off buyer's end plus an additional dollar for each item listed.  so when he sells an item for $1 he takes half leaving us with $0.50, then he takes a dollar for listing the item which puts us having to pay him the half we would have gotten plus an additional $0.50 out of our pocket... in short, we had to pay him $0.50 to give our stuff away.... it's just sickening!!...When i went to collect the items i bid on,  i did not have enough room in my car for it all. so i asked them if i could pick the 1 box up the following day. (Mind you, i had kept calm and collected the entire time), and this scum bag refused to let me pick it up the following day.  1 box could not hold for a day...1 box... IN CLOSING AND ONE LAST TIME IF I CAN STOP ONE PERSON FROM BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY WALT CADE WITH MY EFFORT. THAN IT WAS WORTH THE EFFORT OF POSTING THIS WARNING ON EVERY SINGLE SITE I CAN IMAGINE, INCLUDING BBB, TDLR, YAHOO, GOOGLE, ETC.... IF ANYONE FEELS THE SAME ABOUT THEIR DEALINGS WITH WALT CADE FEEL FREE TO SHARE THIS STORY ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE... PEOPLE DON'T DESERVE TO BE TREATED THIS WAY... ESPECIALLY A GRIEVING WOMAN... read more

Don't do business with these people. Walt the owner went on drunk rage at 9:30 at night because I got an email at 6:15 pm to pick up my items I won by 4pm. This is how Susan his staff and the owner spoke to me. Boycott these auctions. I'm in shock and never seen a business owner act the way he did. I see why A&E stopped dealing with this show. Hope he loses all his contracts with storage facilities after this. Save your money people. These messages are an outcry. They told me my card didn't go through. That's probably a scam because the amount didn't meet the price needed. Messages don't lie. This is absurd the behavior I just experienced. Now they calling my phone at 10pm at night. Are these people insane? Now they are harassing me read more

See all

Beware of buying any vehicles from him. They are NOT very forthcoming with truthful information, bordering on deceptive. Auction listed the vehicle as "running when parked on site", but failed to mention or provide a picture of the 11 YEAR OLD registration. Had to spend an additional $2,800 just to get it off site. read more

So, now he's setting up his auctions so ONLY his "preferred buyers" can bid. That means if you aren't one of his cronies or have a "positive" review of his crooked practices, you get blocked from bidding. To the detriment of his sellers, he is purposely blocking qualified bidders and keeping the prices suppressed. It doesn't matter if you have a perfect track record with every auction house. How he stays in business is baffling. read more

OMG, this guy is leaving positive feedback for himself on both Yelp and Google. I posted a 1 star on Google and he responded with his own 5-star there! I stopped going this Walt's storage auctions over a year ago. He get's an attitude with bidders and has always acted like there's a chip on his shoulder anytime I've tried to talk to him. I've seen him refuse to acknowledge bids and get into arguments about it. I've also witnessed his personal friends and neighbors at the auctions driving up bids. His wife is a very pleasant person to deal with. read more
