Distributors has great and not so geat months. But I have just been re-investing back into it. Prob stop this year, dont see me doing this much longer. GM is a big one also, get alot of requests for them. Trying to get Rent a Billy to learn it, he is a good candidate for it.
LOL I know. It is guaranteed one use container, think it was made in 2021. Hopefully no issues or they do not drop it. Hard to find a good one for the price I got it for. Should be what I need, and can climate control it reasonably. I had a friend on the Paintball team in Cali that used to refurbish them, showed us all the weak points one time we were over there making a paintball tank out of a old postal jeep.

Why would a shipping outfit sell equipment that they only used once?

That's why I'm building a concession stand out of my old truck for extra cash and still get to go to car shows and races.
Most think I'm crazy for the idea but I guess I'll find out.
No trucking and the ports are overloaded with empties so they dont want them back is what I am tod. LOL I asked.

Got a local friend that bought some containers that were used one time and don't know what he paid for them but they look great.
But yea why?

I had a similar thought before our circle track went stupid. Building a fun little 4x4 vehicle of some sort to use as a push truck on Open Wheel racing nights. Track paid for the truck and crew to be there. Hardly a better seat in the house for watchin' the fun.
I have seen some junk for more also. Friend was going to give me a truck box, but they suck on the ground. I should have no rust issues I laid around 6" of gravel down and drain channels on either side. Should last longer than me. Poor wife selling this place.
Cop car?

No I think that’s a great idea! I think people think by doing something like that you’re giving up your day job, at least that’s my wife’s impression,
No any really. Cop cars had that weird arse AC shut off thing that looks like a ecu. Have one in the strange ignitions thread somewhere.

Because by international trade laws, most containers are one time use only. The seals go bad in salt water environments badly.
Check with G&R recycling in Tyrone PA. They are a demolition company and they save everything. Have it in a couple of warehouses that you can walk through.

There’s a refurb process but it’s expensive and it’s cheaper for them to sell them or scrap them and buy new onesAnd they say us commoners make too much waste
No big deal really just more gravel in the center. Daughter thought of it.
