[Shop-talk] Reasonably priced storage bins

Eric,

I think the ones you linked to are made for trucking stuff around the country. Probably super heavy duty, more than you are looking for.

Subject: [Shop-talk] Reasonably priced storage bins

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
