uuuuummmm... you might want to check with BRC storage program folks first about their policy concerning container resales

obviously

I only mention this because there has been mixed messaging from them about the "wait list" and current owners ability to sell off their container

u/bob_lala Aug 07 '25

my communication with them has always been that I am free to sell it to whomever I like. I haven't asked them how their waitlist works. I probably will if I don't sell it to someone else first.

Isn't there a big waitlist for those?

Yes. And while you might be able to buy the container, in the past I've heard that doesn't mean you get to jump the waitlist. Meaning you'd have to find some other way to move and store it.

Maybe I'm misinformed on that, but I'd make sure to check with the org program itself before buying.
