Who Should Buy As-Is?
As-Is containers make sense if you:
- Have Welding Skills: Can repair holes and rust yourself
- Plan Major Modifications: Cutting out walls anyway
- Need Just the Frame: Using as structural foundation
- Have Limited Budget: Every dollar counts
- Doing Art/Creative Projects: Appearance doesn’t matter
Who Should NOT Buy As-Is
As-Is is NOT recommended if you:
- Need guaranteed weatherproofing
- Can’t do your own repairs
- Need immediate, reliable storage
- Want any form of warranty
- Plan minimal modifications
What “As-Is” Really Means
Expect potential issues:
- Holes: In walls, roof, or floor
- Heavy Rust: Structural corrosion possible
- Door Problems: May not close or seal properly
- Floor Damage: Rot, holes, or weakness
- No Guarantees: Sold in current condition
Inspection Required
We strongly recommend visiting our yard to inspect As-Is units before purchase. We’ll show you exactly what you’re getting - no surprises.
The Math on As-Is
| Scenario | As-Is + Repairs | vs WWT |
|---|---|---|
| Minor repairs needed | $1,200 + $200 = $1,400 | $1,650 |
| Moderate repairs | $1,200 + $500 = $1,700 | $1,650 |
| Major repairs | $1,200 + $800+ = $2,000+ | $1,650 |
Reality check: If repairs exceed $450, you would have been better off with WWT.
Perfect For
- Art Installations: Appearance is intentional
- Major Rebuilds: Cutting most walls anyway
- Structural Base: Using frame only
- Scrap Projects: Creative reuse
- Experienced DIYers: Who know what they’re getting into
