My father grew up during the depression so I get the bit about never throw anything away. Would ya believe a couple of the bins hanging on my garage wall date back to my teenage years? Would ya believe they still have some of the same stuff in them?? Every once in a while another one will come to me somehow and that usually triggers a clean up the coffee can and small boxes afternoon.

Lately I've poking around real estate auction sites chasing cheap shop equipment. GoToAuction.com, hibid.com and proxibid.com mostly. There's always some commercial or industrial shop that's liquidating and ya can shop a variety of solutions. One problem here is that often as not they sell the bins with whatever is in them. Dove down the rabbit hole and came up with some examples.
