Storage Hunters: Open World Auctions

Bidding by yard

Permanent yards unlock in order, Junk Yard → Back Alley → Power Plant → Farmyard → Shipyard → Lucky Bay → Business Bay. Unlock gates, loot tiers, and when to move on are on the areas page.

• Junk Yard, Learn the bid zone, previews stay cheap, so bankroll and sell speed matter more than truck size.
• Back Alley, Set a max bid before NPCs chase the preview, thin margins punish emotional raises.
• Power Plant, Clear garage tier gates before max-bidding; Engineer-installed parts refund sell value, so restoration quests are not a permanent item sink.
• Farmyard, Preview machinery weight before you commit, one heavy piece can block a starter truck.
• Shipyard, High preview ceilings, need a heavy hauler, shelf space, and grading time in your cap.
• Lucky Bay, Shipyard-tier previews or higher, run the calculator and check cargo before emotional raises on industrial hauls.
• Business Bay, Cap every luxury preview in the calculator. Do not max-bid until hauler weight and shelf turnover match the yard.

Wild West (Sep 12-26, 2026)

Wild West is the limited event under the [🌵UPD] Roblox title (Sep 12-26, 2026). Earn Gold Nuggets, spend them at event garage doors and the Wild West Market, and pick up Dusty, Tumbleweed, Gunsmoked, or Goldrush rolls. Wash Dusty for a chance at Saloon Sparkle. The Cowboy Classic Car is the main Market prize before the window closes.

1. Log in during the window; Wild West content is on the map with no net-worth unlock quest
2. Keep a Nugget buffer for garage doors (about 10 / 20 Nuggets) before dumping everything into Market spins
3. Win Wild West Garage auctions for Gold Nugget Safes and the Gold Panner, then pan between auctions
4. Run horse races, Sheriff bounties, and town defense when those banners appear
5. Grade Gold Nugget Safes before you open them
6. Spend at the Wild West Market in the Saloon (about 200 Nuggets per spin) if you want the Cowboy Classic Car

Two event garages charge Nuggets at the door: Garage 1 about 10 Nuggets, Garage 2 about 20. Check the live pad. Garage 2 wins still count toward quests that say Garage 1+.

The Wild West Market is in the Saloon area. Spins cost about 200 Gold Nuggets. The pool includes potions, drinks, certificates, and the limited Cowboy Classic Car at a low listed chance (about 0.5%). Check the live Market odds before you plan a spin budget.

Free crates or safes can appear around town (behind the Mayor / town hall, the wooden building next door, and the gas station between large cylinders). Sweep them between auctions; they reset as you cycle.

Gold Nugget sources

• Gold Nugget Safes: Win a Wild West garage auction, collect the safe, grade it, then open
• Gold Panner: Event auction drop; equip and pan at map panning spots (reusable)
• Horse racing: Stable races during race windows; reported first / second / third about 200 / 125 / 50 Nuggets
• Bounty hunting: Claim targets from the Sheriff; Lasso one-taps named bandits such as Gunslinger
• Town defense: Defend the Wild West town when the map event spawns
• Mayor quests: Turn in objectives for Nuggets (reports include +10 plus other loot); a long quest can ask for many Garage 1+ wins

Mutator names and wash notes are on Mutations. Cowboy Classic Car and Horse Carriage are on Vehicles.

Cargo Ship event

Not a permanent yard. The ship docks at the Shipyard on a rotating timer, Server event: the ship docks on a rotating timer (often about every 1-3 hours for ~15 minutes). Watch for the in-game banner that Cargo Ship auctions are live.

• Unlock: about $7,000 net worth before the gates open
• Location: Shipyard dock
• Board through the ship gates once your net worth clears the gate, then bid on deck containers. Exclusive Cargo Ship Collection Book items do not appear in normal yard lockers.

Bidding loop

1. Enter an auction area and stand inside the bid zone when a locker opens.
2. Watch the brief preview, base values only, not mutation payouts.
3. Press the interact key to raise your offer against NPC and player bidders.
4. Win the locker, load items and any safes before leaving, partial hauls waste bids.
5. Grade and list at the shop; mutations stack additively on the counter.

Know your max bid

Decide your top offer before the bidding heats up. A shiny roll on cheap clutter still loses money if you overpay, the preview cannot show mutation payout. Factor in safe weight and cargo limits in your cap so a win you cannot haul is not a win.

• Grade high-base exclusives mentally at preview time, run the calculator on anything close.
• Subtract expected grading and shelf time if you are still on starter selling space.
• Grow net worth toward the next yard gate before you chase its entry costs, see areas.

Common overbid mistakes

• Chasing preview totals without grading or mutation math.
• Ignoring locker weight when your hauler is still starter-tier.
• Bidding in a new area before the net-worth unlock clears.
• Leaving high-base exclusives behind to grab low-value filler.
• Opening safes on-site instead of hauling them, burns keys without shop prep.
• Treating Cargo Ship as a permanent zone you can return to anytime.

After you win

Open safes with the matching keys at your shop, load the good stuff first, then head back to grade. Grab collectibles between runs for Collection Book progress and extra sell value.
