My BIL and I are wanting a couple and it seems the price is about down to 2020 levels.

The 1/2 length types are nearing the $1,200 price again after a few years. Yet, with seacontainers and distribution, it looks to dry up by the end of the August. Right now is the sweet spot time to snag one or two.

Delivered price is $2,500 here in upstate NY, I just got a verbal quote two weeks ago for a 20' conex. Nope, not going to do it...... A 40' unit was $3,500.

your smaller units are pricier than ours, yet your longer units are cheaper than ours. Go figure. LOL

Really? Time to check again. They were ridiculously expensive last I looked.

I have 2 40 footers Behind the barn. Great storage for things I don't use often but don't want to get rid of.
Try and build a wooden storage building for less than $4k.
What was a bit costly was good paint so they don't stand out like a sore thumb. Maybe just me.

A 20FT box is great for a compact and sub-compact tractor.

With an angle grinder and a metal saw wheel, a person can add a service door and a window to two very easily. Likewise for a roof vent like a cargo trailer has.

And with just an battery powered angle grinder one can open a door almost anywheres on it.
