I'm working on getting ice this year from a commercial ice maker in town. The lady with the roach coach that stops by work in the morning says she pays about $10 per 100lbs.

A reliable source for chiped/shaved ice would be a real resource. It would certainly be worth $10 a hundred to get it! I no longer need a toe though, Popeye gratiously sold me his old one...Thanks Bruce!
WP...with the ice source and some "minor work, we be tuna fishin'!!!!!!

Here is the reply that I received.

"Ray, thank you for asking about our totes. The totes are yellow with yellow or black lids. Mostly black.The very best ones that we have are $150 each Canadian funds. They are made by Tri Core plastics and are called King Kooler. There is only one size. Out side dimension with lid on 31 high x 46 x 50. Without the lid on, inside measurement 40 x 43.5 x 21 deep. All measurements are inches. There are only about 70 left and of those about 25 would be the very best. These totes stack one inside of the other and the lids pallet very nicely. If you are interested in a bulk purchase I am willing to discuss that.

Best $150. with lid. The prices drop from there to Good $125. condition means repaired but not a leaker. Good condition means repaired both inside and out, or perhaps with a foot or visible out side damage and repaired or no damage inside. Average $100, means damage, leaking and suitable for dry storage use, ice but tote will leak, really not suitable for perishable food products, has visible use damage on it, good for planters or direct burial in ground, form work etc. Poor $50 severe damage to tote. Tote only useable as a pallet or one time shipping crate. Tote is misshapened, real visible outside damage, large areas of tote are torn or missing, good for scrap metal or recycling uses, barn or shop uses like garbage or manure bins.
We are located in Ladner, Delta, BC which is about 15 mins drive from the US Border at Blaine Washington. Our address is 3871 River Road West. Phone number is 604 946 9747. thank you very much. Regards Mike."
