North Mississippi Delta / Alabama Gulf Coast | I have purchased 2 containers off CL from different outfits. First 40 HC was local guy that sold sheds and the occasional containers when available.
According to him, used containers cost more to ship back empty than they are worth. At one time anyone could purchase containers from storage yards but once demand increased shippers changed purchase options. General public out and "Brokers" in, biggest issue was liability loading on whatever GP brought to pickup their container. Also could not really pick thru inventory and had to broker from selected lots. Best containers used as homes, business, retail, etc bring big $$. price and quality go down from there.
Some outfits oversell inventory and have to wait till whatever you purchased is available. And there are scammers.
Good ol' boy from OK delivered last one stayed a while since he had major electrical issues on trailer. Between the 2 of us and some of my stuff, we got him running. He really liked to talk. I will never by another sight unseen.
