For some reason, shipping containers are unlike every other market... sellers refuse to advertise their prices! Take a look on craigslist: nearly every ad either has a fake price ($1, $1000, $999,999) or else says "call for pricing". The only place I've seen with real prices is a printed-on-dead-trees farmer's newspaper.
That website is what is so hard to find: straightforward pricing updated regularly.
I need a shipping container at some point in the next year but I'm in no hurry. Now I can just check this site every week or so to get a feel for when prices have bottomed.
Anybody know why the container market has such weirdly opaque pricing? It's a nearly-ideal commodity...
