Wanted to buy a large selection of colorful used milk crates that were in our color palette so after some internet sleuthing found this guy who seemed to have a lot.

Went to meet the guy, a retired cop, and discovered he has a thriving second-hand crate business (he has sold almost 4,000 since he started the business 3 years ago) and has sold to crate collectors (a real thing!) in Japan, Germany, and beyond.

He told me of the almost 4,000 crates he has sold he’s only seen 5 yellow ones and I took 2 of them! 🐥🌼⭐️🌝☀️🍋💛love meeting niche businesses like this and the people who run them—one of the funnest parts of the job.
