Just checked and the totes that I bought are $15.59 each including shipping charges. To get these over the counter would have cost me almost $3900 (not accounting for the bulk discount)
These are the same as used by dairies and it seems that tote loss is an $80 Million/Year hit to them. Great set of three articles at Modern Farmer (great website) one, two, and three. The third article has an interesting twist in that the 'official' place to purchase new crates was busted for accepting stolen old ones.
