Port and inland depot competition usually narrows the range. Atlantic and northern markets can be higher because inventory is scarcer and the seller may already have paid to reposition the unit.

Nunavut ranges describe an already-landed local unit and are deliberately broad because publicly listed local stock is limited. Earlier inbound logistics may already be reflected in the unit price, while delivery from the seller to the buyer’s site remains excluded.

An as-is unit with holes or floor damage is not equivalent to a cargo-worthy unit. Ask for the exact size, height, grade, door layout, photos and written condition before deciding that one quote is cheaper.
