Would you pay for a branded milk crate

Would you pay for a milk crate for your bike if it had the logo of your favorite bike club/non profit/cause ?
How much?



Just a thought.

Short answer, NO. Long answer, only if I can get some wacky neon green colors and some other crazy ass awesomeness to make it more interesting then what I pass almost everyday at the Wilson red line.

Well, most of the milk crates are fiber-reinforced HDPE, which is very tough, rigid and heavy. The ones from Target or Ikea can't hold a candle to a real milk crate. Conversely, I think milk crates are not so useful. Having used them for years, I've learned that basic folding side baskets are far superior and well-worth my $20.

How do you know they're stolen?

They could have easily been passed down from employer to employee to friend to acquaintance. However unlikely this situation may be, you don't know.

BTW, The Container Store (online or at North/Clybourn) sells legitimate and high-quality milk crates for $10+tax. I bought two recently for home storage and organization. They also sell one that fits LPs (records), but this one does not have the authentic milk crate toughness.

Maybe, but your picture is misleading(?)-- it shows stolen milk crates.
Are you talking about taking stolen milk crates and putting organizational logos on them and then selling them?

It would be easy to hire someone to make them locally, too.

I got mine after someone put them out in the alley behind where I used to live. Most belong to Bareman's Dairy of Holland, Michigan. They may have been stolen at one point but by the time I got them the realistic fate was either the landfill or me or someone else taking/using them.
