I'm looking for either a 20' shipping container or maybe a similar sized alluminum box off a box truck. Not in a huge hurry and if i was i would just go to a dealer and get one for 1k. When I move in May I need to get all my tools, spare parts.... and store them till I buy a house in a year or two. So if you have one laying around or know where one is that is in decent shape let me know. Thanks

dude you know if you buy one of those you have to put it somewhere, and move it to and from that location. Get a storage unit and renter's insurance for a couple of months and maybe someone will do you a favor and take all that crap off your hands for you.

He can store it at their ranch



and maybe someone will do you a favor and take all that crap off your hands for you.

spoken from experience...though nobody's done me that favor thus far. Hope all the crap in my basement hasn't become a vital part of my house's structure! :D

life is much simpler when you can pick up everything you own and move cross-country in an 8' bed pickup.

So you're saying since I have too much crap, I won't have to move to Jersey?
Guilty as charged! :gigem:

when you buy a container, 99% of the time transporting it is included with the price.

Life was simpler then. Incidentally, the place I lived in at the time was about the size of an 8' pickup bed. At least Kopecki was a good landlord, he took me fishing and stuff.

sorry I wasn't clear. My parents would never be generous enough to let me turn their property into a junkyard, like yours apparently are :)

I am being about 90% facetious at this point...I really don't care what Andrew does with his stuff.

And to continue being cheeky: Have you considered the irony in this situation? You have just bought more crap--to help you deal with the problem that you have too much crap. :)

How much does it cost?

There are two ways to pay to make calls: monthly subscriptions (http://www.skype.com/intl/en/allfeatures/subscriptions/) include unlimited calls to landlines˛ in selected countries and regions – you can also get up to 50% off an online number (http://www.skype.com/intl/en/allfeatures/onlinenumber).
Or, with Pay As You Go (http://www.skype.com/intl/en/allfeatures/skypecredit/) you add some money to your account and then you just pay for calls as you make them. There's a flat rate of just 1.7 euro centsą per minute (incl. VAT) to over 30 destinations; and here's a big list of rates (http://www.skype.com/intl/en/prices/callrates/) to destinations everywhere else in the world.
