For those of you who have been following sea container market prices over the last few years it has been an up and down roller coaster ride. The sea container market is similar in this respect to that of the stock market. However unlike the stock market sea containers still remain one the best values for your money and with minimal care should always be worth the same or more than you paid for them. At the present time prices are again on the rise so if you are interested in buying do it now. Prices on new sea containers being shipped from China for fall sales will be up $200.00 to $400.00 over those of this spring. Because of uncertainties in the raw materials and energy markets, as well as some weakness in the US Dollar, prices are expected to continue their rise into next year. If this trend continues, cheap sea containers may soon be a thing of the past.

   We expect our current supply of new sea containers to be sold out early in August so expect a hefty price increase on anything you order with a September delivery date or later. The used sea container prices have remained very high for better quality boxes and their prices are expected to follow those of new sea containers.

   On the positive side new and used sea containers still remain the best and cheapest storage to be found for your money anywhere in the world.
