Who runs it
Florida's sale is a live, in-person auction, not online. Boxes come from banks after three years of unpaid rent; the Division holds the contents at least two more years before selling. Registration on site needs a refundable $100 cash deposit and a driver's license, and the Division posts a free catalog with photos of each lot.
