Looking at shipping containers for sale, one may directly assume that its use is merely for storage. However, some people have seen an added value into it and innovatively used this mass of metal differently. Browsing the internet, one can see that people have transformed this mere shipping container into a dwelling-fully furnished and beautifully designed. It need not be brand new. There are several second-hand shippingcontainers that are for sale in the internet. With a background check and good haggling powers, one may arrive at a worthwhile purchase.
Some businesses or personal activities necessitate the purchase of shipping containers for everyday operations; however, once its use is gone its disposal becomes a problem. Because of this, some people opt to hire/rent a shipping container instead (especially if usage is only a few months) to avoid this problem. Or, sell the used container on eBay and other internet sites to gain funds. Alternatively, however, you can transform this into a possible dwelling, a workshop, an office space or whatever creative way you can think of.
Quality shipping containers are what buyers want. Buying a brand new one assures one of its condition, but it is not necessary to make a good purchase. In acquiring a second hand container, one must be particular to its condition. Some used containers may already have signs of dilapidation like possible holes and leaks which may be covered up by a painting job; so do be wary of these. One wouldn't like a home with a leaked roof. Also, if one is considering the container as a dwelling or an office, do make sure that these are properly insulated.
If one looks at websites, the price range of a brand new shipping container would be around 5,000$ to 8,000$, but second-hand containers can go as low as 1,500$ depending on its usage and condition. So if one is on a tight budget, one might opt to purchase a used one-just do a background check.
Alternative uses of shipping containers can even be income generating. Business minded individuals have seen a business opportunity in a used shipping container. Its lucrative models include being a bar in Australia and a coffee caf�. London even has its container city where student apartments and other dwellings are reused shipping containers. Also, a bank branch in Germany has used shipping containers as its temporary office space. For safety reasons, some people in hurricane/tornado prone areas have used these containers as alternative shelters; this example can even be seen in the movie "Take Shelter".
Used shipping containers could also be used in improving a community. We have localities that have used them as children's play centres. Also, countries such as China and India have used containers to build alternative classrooms for children. These can even be used to create a museum space such as that of the Nomadic Museum in Sta. Monica. Maybe the next time you think or see shipping containers for sale, you probably might want to consider it an investment; you're doing something good for the environment too!
