I imagine they were buying their containers new.

  Given that shipping is down, maybe we should be looking at brand new containers for this as well? Certainly, GGP has a point about modular construction being simpler, for sure. But the counterargument is 'can you ship them'. Anyone who lives near a port city is aware that there are train cars and semi trailers designed such that you can plop containers onto them. What I don't know is how prevalent is the equipment to unbox them on the receiving end (or for that matter, whether the container trailers are rated for long-haul). That would limit the reach to the supply chains radiating out from ports.
