I have noticed that.
I had a friend in AK that made a good living selling road tired vans and trailers.
He had connections that would send shipments up in those "road tired" trailers.
He would then sell them as storage trailers.
I, among others, would buy them from him.
I would buy a 40' highcube trailer with barely roadworthy tires on it for about $1500, use it for jobsite storage, then sell it for what I paid for it.
I sold my last one that I had been using for personal storage just before moving here.
I sold it for more than I had paid for it.
I would think that old, tired, about to die, but still serviceable containers would be available for reasonable prices.
I haven't seen them.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
