Depends on the site manager and what kind of day the GL person at the corporate office in AZ is having. If its been listed as abandoned I think your out of luck some guys I spoke to told me if its listed as abandoned its to late.

This is why it's good to have a back-up plan with a local towing company with secured storage . Their fees most likely will be less than GL's default fee's . And it gives you more flexibility with your shipper picking up.

If Im not mistaken if they classify the lot as abandoned there is no default and no refund either. I dont know how the lot is determined to be abandoned unless the OP sent in a release as is common to have someone pick it up.

This is the official language from their TOS. Wayne
Section 9: ABANDONED PROPERTY ( top )
A schedule for removal of property will be established for each sale. You must remove all property awarded within this time limit. If for any reason removal cannot be completed within the time period, it is your responsibility to arrange with our site manager for an extension of time. We are not responsible for property that is not removed within the time allotted. If property is not removed within the specified removal period or scheduled for removal at a later date with our site manager, we will consider the property to be abandoned by you, and you will have abandoned all right, title and interest in the property including the purchase price of the property. We are not required to send abandonment or late removal letters to you prior to exercising the right of abandonment.

Did you call the site and ask for a extension? Most site guys are helpful but once it is kicked to the home office it is out of their hands. Wayne

WhenI won my M1009 in Huntsville I asked if I could leave it there for 4 weeks till I got my EUC for my 101 trailers and there was no problems. Just had to call them and ask.

I called a site once to try and get a 1-day extension and was turned down. Sounds like it is very site-specific.

I know it's no help to the OP at this point, best of luck with your issue.

No offense but I wish there was an abandoned section on GL. Sometimes lots go more than a few rounds...would be nice for those local to the auction site to just pick up abandoned crap people didn't want to ship or pick-up.

First time I went to the GL lot in Mechanicsburg they were chock full of stuff. I doubt that they would have even considered an extension.

Second time, it was much less cluttered, but still had rows of trucks/gear.

Third time Milla was in the corner with another truck.. but with vast, wide open space all around.

So depending on the sites load of stuff, yeah, it would be hit or miss.

If anyone gets a truck from Mechanisburg/Anneville I am less than an hour from each one (30 min from Anneville) so parking is always available at the house.

Whether or not you can get an extension can also largely depend on how much pressure is put on the particular site manager to get rid of crap to make room for new crap.

Never hurts to call. Most of the ones I've talked to will work with you and give you a little leeway on the 10 business day thing. But not if you don't call them and make such arrangements.
