Where is a 10×10 storage locker $5k/yr? That's a bit over $400/month! About a decade ago, I rented a 10×15 storage locker for $130/month, or $1560/year. Sure

Where is a 10×10 storage locker $5k/yr? That's a bit over $400/month! About a decade ago, I rented a 10×15 storage locker for $130/month, or $1560/year. Surely inflation has not been that bad to triple the price. Perhaps it's a geographic thing.

- zippyman55 1y agoThank you. I know there are cheaper places, but this is an inherited problem and the storage facility is secure and dry. With luck it will be gone in six weeks.

- zippyman55 1y agoThat is really interesting. As I mentioned, it’s an inherited problem I am working on removing. Maybe you are looking at the initial buy in rates, then they jack it up. But if things go well, it will be $0/mo next month.
