With the development of the logistics industry, containers, as a convenient means of transportation, are widely used in domestic and foreign trade. However, there may be situations where you need to purchase used shipping containers, such as for construction sites, temporary housing or offices, etc. So, how much does an old container cost? How much does an old container house cost?

First, the price of a used container depends on several factors, including size, material, condition, and demand. Generally speaking, the price of standard size used containers (such as 20 feet, 40 feet, etc.) is relatively low, ranging from about US$1,000 to US$3,000. However, if the container is in good condition and has a special purpose (such as special cargo transportation, film and television shooting, etc.), the price may be higher. In addition, some special materials and sizes may also lead to price differences.
Secondly, as for the cost of a used container house, it depends on your specific needs and usage. If you only need a simple box room as a temporary residence or office, then you can choose simple decoration and configuration. The cost of such a container house is usually around a few thousand dollars, depending on local suppliers and market demand.
Also, if you need to convert an old shipping container into a comfortable residence or a high-end office, the cost may be higher. This involves more decoration and configuration, such as thermal insulation, sound insulation, electrical systems, furniture, etc. Therefore, the cost can range from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars, depending on your needs and budget.
The price of a used container and the cost of a container house depend on several factors. If you are considering purchasing an old container or house, it is recommended that you consult local suppliers or professionals to understand local market conditions and specific prices. At the same time, you also need to consider post-purchase transportation, decoration and configuration costs to ensure that your investment is fully utilized.
