Last year I got a plastic storage shed from Costco and I like it a lot. Since I am beginning to accumulate stuff what with building the house. I decided another shed was in order.
So I get on Craigslist looking for a used one. Find one just like a I have, but a bit smaller. I check new prices and find the seller is out of line, so what the heck, make an offer and explain reasoning. Comes back with an inflated 'new' price from Home Depot. I check Home Depot. His Home Depot price is for some reason $400 higher than the online price. So I point that out. Tell him 'good luck.' He will need a buyer who does not do his/her homework.
So back on Craigslist. Find another one, 2 1/2' longer for $50 less than the first seller. Will go look at it tomorrow with money in hand. Pictures show this seller built it under a roof. Don't know what's up with that, but OK.
Also shows me they are imminently resalable. Total outlay much less than renting storage space.
Ain't life interesting?
