I Need Some Idea. Im the high bidder on 1500+ Ammo Cans. I need some ideas on what to do with them.

I think i may make some into computer cases to try to sell,portable speakers,woodstoves, mailboxs, and knife stands


However i had another idea i wanted to try also that i wanted opinions on. I was thinking about welding them together and adding some supports to them and making some Toolbox Running Boards for my truck. I have only seen a couple of other toolbox running boards for trucks and they want like $2,000 for them.

Do you think they would work if i add support to them? Do you for see any issues?

they are 11" L x 6" W x 7" H.
If you think of other good uses for them post them.


If not i may start to build a privacy fence out of them or maybe a building.

If i do get them and shipping is not to high bad i will.

>>719515007

I wish they would have been full of 5.56 rounds, event just spent cases. that would have been a decent bit of money scrap price.
>>
>>719515051
no idea, i could use one for ammo storage, right now i got rifle rounds and shotgun shells all scattered in the same box
>>
>>719514774
that's confusing... i mean, maybe a mailman would just try to open the front the usual way without thinking about what it was, but for me I'd spend a few seconds wondering how I'm supposed to open this thing.
>>
>>719515158

Aka shipping under 5 bucks lol.


Alot of people use them for tool boxs and such in there trucks also by bolting them into the truck beds and putting master locks on them

I cant help but make money on them.


1500+ and it will be like 700 bucks or so.


If i sell them for $1 a piece even im doubling my money.
>>719515302
I may do something like that. Maybe take the lids ff and weld them together into shelfs.

I plan on buying a shipping container to bury in my backyard into the hillside to use as a root cellar / false wall in back with a Grow room with 1kw HPS hoods. I figure putting it in the ground will throw off helicocksuckers and will cost less to heat in winter/cool in summer.

maybe weld them together with some angle iron under neath them, and then weld a thick piece of diamond plate on top? You think they would hold up to someone stepping on them to get in out of a truck?

I was going to try to weld some old toolbox under my lifted truck for nerf bars but i think this would work better.

Ive looked on the net and cant find any examples or threads about anyone trying the tool boxs though.
>>
>>719515929
Well I figured the ammo cans would be kinda cool TBH Maybe even without the diamonplate on top. Flip them on there side and make like 10 compartments.


Plus It will only cost me 4 bucks a sideish for the cans, and then scrap metal to tie them together and such.


it would be nice for putting tools in and such.


I hate toolbox in my truck bed that take up space.

nvm

>>719516762
maybe i can stack them on top each other and get some long sata cables and such and make a Big Case like the old termaltake 3 cases?

Put motherboard in one, harddrives in one, memory card reader/ dvd drive in one/leave one open in center as a shelf, Make one into Cage with Plexyglass for my anal gerbil, Weld 2 together to make a keyboard tray, Mount one on the side to hold magazines, one on other side for trash bin etc.


Think i should mount coaster under neath so i can move it easily?


How hard would it be to get some sort of refridgeration thing and try to make me some soda/pop cooling shelf's in it?


I actually might do this, Be a cool metal all in one desk/pc case/ put monitor on top.


All Metal also which means it wont fall apart like the presswood furniture from wally worls. Esp since ill proabbly accidently cum on it some, and ive ruined a few cheap presswood desks from that.

I know a bunch of retired and active military and police etc, who would buy humidors made out of these.
>>
>>719520642
About 700 bucks and i have to drive a hour or so away to pick them up. So whatever it cost me in fuel and 50 bucks to use buddys car trailer.


So prob around 850 total.

If they sell for 5 bucks each ill make like 7,760 profit or so off them.


Even 2 bucks each ill make $2,594 profit or so.


You guys need to watch goverment liquidation websites.

Do they need electronics in them or do i just throw a wood box inside?


I know nothing about humidors. Im a hill billy and know that if your pipe tobacco is dry you add an apple, to wet you ad some bred.

And pot is better when you let it cure in a painted black mason jar so light cant get in and burp it every few days.


If i made humidors id me really tempted to make it so you couldnt remove the box and put some pot underneath it for the smellz.

I could go to the scrapyard and get some old valves and pipes and weld them on the sides and top and such and paint it with some bronze spray paint and sell them as steampunk.

Realistically OP, you shook sell them individually till you make up however much you spent. Then fuck around with what's left. And it goes without saying but buyin 1500+ ammo cans is some serious autism

I got to shoot m455 rounds when i was in afghanistan. Those cases are like footlockers.

>>719521776
They were Cheap.

its like 1722 or so cans and there only like 50 cents a can when all is said and done (not counting my Time involved)


Plus there ammo cans so i can literally just unload them in my yard and not worry about storing them inside.


And if someone complains about the 20 or so pallets of ammo cans in my yard i will weld them all together on top of each other and make a 8ft privacy fence around my yard with them.


12 of them stacked high would be about 8 ft.

So i can make like an 8foot by 132ft privacy fence.


For privacy fence panels that 16.5 panels and they cost liek 40 bucks or so each so thats 660 bucks worth of them.
Not counting i can take the lids off and make them bigger/ leave holes in the fence and make gun port holes that i can open and shut. in case of indians.
>>
>>719522353


ill prob charge 10 bucks each for them until i sell like 85 of them then ill have my money back, and if i sell the rest for $1 each ill make like 1600 bucks.


I can honestly prop sell them all in 1 day for $1 a piece if i bring the to the dealers auction near where i live.
>>
>>719522574
in the mean time i might paint some of them different colors and play with them like legos in my yard.

I got time. and i have already picked up one lot of these :P


Thats sight is nice though, you can get all kinds of stuff even video games and such.


Didnt the prices seem cheap?
If you go to location and then find one around you its worth it. It cost to much to ship some of the stuff.


I bought like 2,000 Pairs of the Desert brown Mil boots on there a few weeks ago for like 0.25 cents a pair.


They were all random sizes and such also.
>>
>>719523228
They were Rocky Beaulville and Bates brands i believe


Im retired air force so i just do this or something to do.
>>
>>719522574
I'll buy one for a dollar, can you ship to Canada?
>>
>>719523228
Wtf you gonna do with 2k pairs of randomly sized combat boots?? You should start your own militia.
>>
>>719523524
also i like to talk to people at the flea markets and such and trade this crap to them for guns. especially other vendors.

I can prob trade like 50 of these for a gun, which means i can get about 35 guns or so


That's like 25 bucks a gun.
>>
>>719523673
I already sold them. I gave away like 200 pairs to friends and family, and the rest i sold at a dealers auction i got to for between $3-5 each.


Its kinda like that wardogs movie, but with less money guns and i actually do sell bed sheets sometimes. and army blankets.
>>
>>719523673
>>719523838


I made like 4-5k of of them.
