[Shop-talk] Reasonably priced storage bins

[eric at megageek.com]

Hello all,

My next question is about bulk'ish plastic storage bins.

I'm looking for plastic storage bins, around the size of 24"X15"X18". 
Note, actual size is not important, just around those dimensions 
approximately.

However, once you start looking into these, the prices seem counter to 
buying a bunch.  I was thinking of buying maybe 20 or 40 of these, but 
most would mean hundreds (or thousands) of dollars. In fact, Uline starts 
ONE of these containers (a little bit bigger than I need) for over $400 A 
PIECE!

Many of Amazon seem to be over $30 a piece.  I didn't want to spend that 
much on these.

Does anyone know of a good reasonable alternative?  Is there maybe a place 
that sells them as surplus or something?

Thanks.

I can't use cardboard, I am trying to keep out mice and moisture (but it 
doesn't need to be airtight if the price is right).  I would prefer 
something stackable, but if not, I can make shelves. Again, exact size 
isn't important, but big enough to hold at least 5 binders would be a good 
start.

This is for storage of shop items and such.

Thanks.

Mule
