I am still in negotiations, and it may still not pan out. But the guy in Japan says they DO sort of have dollar stores there. He says they have a lot of steel plates & containers, and will check them out. He said they may not be Japanese-made, but Chinese. He asked how many I would want.

I explained our problem & offered to send him money in advance: cost of the boxes + shipping + a fee for his time & effort at least equal to the first two costs, which is only fair.

So I can get a rough estimate of what is needed, here's my question:

If he can find a number of these boxes (I sent him the Penrith photo), they are of a reasonable price (under $10 total per box incl shipping), are there people here who would be interested?
