Won Storage Unit Auction - Buyer Demanding Goods Back

Location: NJ

I recently won an auction for a storage unit and the tenant never redeemed. I cleaned out the unit and found some antiques which were somewhat valuable.

Fast forward to today, tenant is now asking I return them but I can’t since I already sold them. According to the auction rules:

The Buyer acknowledges that in certain circumstances, the facility may contact Buyer and request that certain items be purchased back in order to prevent any court action with said tenant, the Buyer also agrees to sell to Extra Space such items for (a) the cost at which Buyer purchased such items plus (b) any reasonable actual costs incurred by Buyer in connection with such items.

I understand I have an obligation to return legal documents and the alike, but there was nothing like that. Can the storage facility pursue me for the value of the sold goods if the tenant threatens them?Do I not own the property within the unit after a successful auction, assuming notice and other laws were followed? What is my liability?

Thanks in advance.

Edits: Sorry, I accidentally said “buyer” instead of “tenant.” Slow and groggy morning for me.
