When exactly is the last chance someone has to pay off their lien and prevent the sale?

I have talked to many storage facility managers and they all seem to have a different take on this. Some think the customer has until the auction starts, others believer the customer has until the auctioneer says sold. I have read the statute and it doesn't seem there is a drop dead time set forth, or am I missing something?
