I want to buy a trunk
 

Why they so expensive? Has anyone bought a trunk before? I was thinking I could get one from a military surplus place, but they seem expensive too.

I want something to keep my Alpha crap in that I don't need very frequently or don't wear anymore but want to keep in a safe place. You know, stuff I might pass down to sons or will to friends should something happen to me.

These seem to be least expensive so far.

But this looks nice.

Thoughts?



As a side note, it seems like every time I start a thread proclaiming I am going to buy something, I never do. Remember how I was gonna buy a new desktop computer? Yeah, bought a second external hard drive instead. I suck!

Frat-

When I first went away to college, I got my trunk from Walmart, I don't know if D.C. has one of those. I payed only 20-30 bucks for it. It is black and looks just like these and it rolls.

But do you still have it or is it a piece of crap?

There are WalMarts nearby but I refuse to support them!

Are you looking for a storage trunk or a nice memory chest? You may want to consider a nice Cedarwood chest. I have one and it's a very nice piece of furniture too. It was a little expensive, but well worth it. I'll try to link some pages to you. I don't think you want to buy it from Wal-mart unless you're trying to store it for a short time.

It was quality and still looked new until I let my little sister have it a year ago.

Hey R,

Look up "foot lockers." I think that's what you are wanting.

I think a little of both....I'm looking forward to anything you suggest :)

Actually that first link is my trunk

These are a few that I found. I googled hope chests and this is what I got. Some of these are pricey, but they are very functional and will last a long time. I have two and bought them from a furniture store. Here are the links:

If I run across anything else, I'll post. :)

I thought it was too, but I'm not sure it's big enough. I'll keep looking though.

Thank you! Lookin' now!

You're welcome! Hope that's what you were looking for.

Go to an antique store..

When I went off to college I got my trunk from a military surplus store. It was much bigger than the small one my room mate had.

Haaaaaaaa your roommate had trunk envy!

I have a trunk from Target that I bought almost 13 years ago. I took it to summer camp. It is still being used now to store stuff. It is in good condition.

She did:p. I stored a ton of stuff in mine, so if you can find a surplus store check it out. I still have it. I like it, but it is too big for now. I do not need it for the same reasons I needed it for in a cramped dorm.

Here ya go. $29.99 at the container store.

^^^Don't post in my thread you gutter-butt trollop.

*Senusret1 has now won the internet, the rest of you can all go home*

R, she's now adding post-stalking to her repertoire by following me. She had nothing to add. She's just being her usual, psychotic self by letting me know she's following me.

LOL..... I must say that the internet was really won by B. Scott, who first introduced me to the phrase "gutter-butt trollop" in his classic youtube response to the Chris Stokes/Raz B molestation allegations.

That's really freaking sad.

:D :D :D

Update..... I just ordered one from rosetrunk.com -- we'll see how it turns out! Should arrive in about a week.

If you don't want anything fancy try checking out Bed, Bath, and Beyond or even Linens and Things. They often have them on sale in the summer for people going away to school and both of them send 20% off coupons in the mail at least once a month if you sign up for their mailing lists.

When I went away to college, I bought mine from KMart. I paid about $30 for it and it fell apart in less than a year. DON'T DO IT!

Let us know!!
