An elderly friend has a couple of 40 ft containers near Parump Nv that
he needs to dispose of - any clue how to value them or who may want to
buy them?

They sell for $2k-$2.5k depending on condition. Few individuals will be
interested in buying them unless you can deliver them. The companies
that sell containers might buy them at a discount that would cover their
pickup costs and give them a profit when they resell them, perhaps $1k.

Are they standard Conex/seatrains or old trailer bodies?

Posting them on Craigslist is about the best way..or inquire with some
of the seatrain dealers in Nevada and California

It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an

and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have
such a man for their? president.. Blaming the prince of the
fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of
fools that made him their prince".

Round here, they are selling for $3k, and that's delivered. And that's for
a seagoing container. Shipping and delivery are going to be the bugger.
Check with the local seller of these things, as I heard recently their
supply dried up.

Supply dried up? There is an estimated 5 MILLION cargo containers
sitting across America. Ports are choked with them.

I know a guy who has a yard that sells these. That's what he told me. Said
they were in short supply for a while, but seem to be back now. Just what I
heard from someone in the business. FWIW.

Around here, the 40's were 2300-2500. Now they're in the 3000 range. Go
figger.
