Smoking Hot Deal On Portable Storage Buildings (Craigslist)

I recently changed careers for the time being. Am selling portable storage buildings. Found a competitor. I am shaking in my boots with fear. How can we ever compete with this?

Looks like crap IMO. I got a price from a fella around here who can get me a 10'X40' Amish shed with 4 openings for $5k and this is delivered and leveled. These are with tin roofs, mostly hardwood structure, board/batten exterior, and the base is all PT lumber. I could build it myself for less but why would a waste the time for this little money.

Re: Smoking Hot Deal On Portable Storage Buildings (Craigslist)

Okay, $ 100.00 says the guy drives a rusted out old 1972 pickup, originally moss green but full of holes now, rust and spot primer in the odd place, gun rack in the back window without the gun, mostly disinegrated rubber floor mats and a really torn seat, possibly covered with a horse blanket. The guy himself will be pretty grungy looking, unshaven for 12 years and it will be easier to count how many teeth he has left as opposed to how many he's missing.

Who wants to make the call and have him show up for a free estimate?

Re: Smoking Hot Deal On Portable Storage Buildings (Craigslist)

This was in our newspaper yesterday. Smoking hot deals on Katrina trailers. One problem, DON'T LIVE IN THEM!

Seems they carry some high level of FORMALDEHYDE.

Not sure who this guys market is.

This is a quote from the article. The guy is a moron. Really, the gov't would NEVER do something to harm any US citizens

Quote:
"I don't think they are the same trailers," Schott said. "Would the government sell something it knows to be harmful? No."

Schott believes they ought to be safe for anyone who aims to use them for vacations or other short-term situations. They're no different from any other trailer, he said.
