I looked at my derksen price list as you were going through the sheds. They only dropped each one by 1K off the price if you bought them new. Not much considering those are repos. Pay the extra thousand and get it brand new.

[@conservativehippie9736]

Your comment helped me...NEW!

[@jamestyndall529]

That's like a waiter bringing you a sandwich with a bite out of it and offering to knock off $0.10

[@kathrynmauro8673]

Oh wow!

[@kathrynmauro8673]

@@jamestyndall529 that's a funny analogy but I like it!

[@ChosenChildofGod1]

MOST DEFINITELY IF REPOED. PROBABLY MORE HIDDEN ISSUES !! EXACTLY more ISSUES Dangerous STEPS 96k You can buy a Gorg Tiny home for this maybe little more with LOTS MORE. DEFINITELY NOT WORTH NOT FOR ONKY $1K LESS. NO

[@robertgreen8416]

Probably the best Ryan's Shed Plans on building a shed is hardly found ever . kzbin.infoUgkxQpIlQoblai43PcQ4AibWJ5a4AaGfwzpx And Ryan's takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.

[@charlotteforrester3118]

I’d rather have a new one so I could fix it like I want rather than fix some else’s mistakes. But of all the ones you toured, I like the grey trimmed in white, the one you liked and would consider buying it.❤️❤️❤️

[@lindatemple5454]

Loved the video, I personally liked the last two the most and the last one you could definitely turn into a tiny house once you re did the staircase and landing. Would never buy a smelly one 😂. Looking forward to your next video, I hope Braveheart is doing well. God bless.

[@SimplySoutherntx]

Jared, when I first saw the staircase in the last shed I thought it was for a cat! Then you showed the kid's measurement chart. Wow. .... nice video.

[@thomasmleahy6218]

Crockers I thought the kids built it!

[@chefpinot45]

The $8100 model was probably the best deal. The electric lights and outlets they installed will save time and money. On a side note, Amazon sells a product called "Angry Orange" that will remove any odor from anything. It's downright amazing.

[@sashaminx75]

Thanks

[@joyanderson8646]

Thanx, I'll check it out!!!

[@LadyJ5569]

Buying a used problem with each one of these. People get crazy when repo happens. If you want a fixer upper, you could buy one of these. I enjoy when you do these. Nice job on the camera Jason. Take care.

[@descrazielyfe4446]

I tell you what, yall surely made it work for y'all. I think the conversion is definitely worth it 👌😄

[@vivianwilliams2216]

Thanks for the tours, i would rather get a new one, unless you are looking for a used one to add your unique twist to it ! 😊👍💕💕💕

Greetings from Ohio. What I love is that blue sky behind you in the end of the video

[@pannis72]

I probably wouldn’t buy any of the repos. Buy a new one and start fresh.

[@heru-deshet359]

What does it really need to have done inside? It's a shed! Unless it has structural problems and/or rot, it OK to buy if you save a couple of grand.

[@ShaneZettelmier]

I’ve looked at used repo sheds before. Another thing to remember isDid they deliver these things on trucks that’s a lot of shaking and twisting and bending and they are a simple 2 x 4 construction with nails and moving it’s not really good for it at all. It’s kind of just part of getting a shed when it’s built somewhere else and move to your house. If you can have it go straight from the manufacturer to your house that’s the best case scenario otherwise it goes from the manufacture to the dealer from the dealer to your house and that’s two moves if it’s re-Po’ed it goes from the house back to the dealer and then have to go from that dealer to your house so theoretically you’re getting The building moved three or four times and structurally that’s just not a great idea so it’s more than just what the other people did to it to consider. I found some that I almost got camo one because it was damaged and just cheap but I would’ve had to rebuild the front of it and get some 10 for the roof and I needed something finished to move stuff in the day it was delivered because we were buying a new house and moving from out of state so I ended up buying a new one, another one I almost bought looked pretty much new but they wanted way too much for a repo and it had some grease on the floor like it had a lawnmower or something in there and you can clean and do all that but I would’ve done just that save the money but the fact it has been moved four times instead of just once or twice kind of put me off and it just wasn’t worth what you were saving. They were selling a new one for 7600 and that one was only about $1000 less. Honestly I think they weigh over value repo sheds and that’s the biggest problem. They sell a new shed somebody else kind of trash is it and then they want you to pay almost new prices for them because somebody only had it for a couple months and made minimum payments and they still want to break even on it and I would rather just pay the $800 or 1000 and have a new one with the windows and doors and everything and colors exactly like I want it. For Jason oh I thought it was kind of crazy that he was talking about buying a shed. A simple 2 x 4 frame construction like that would be nothing for him to build from scratch and he could build it for about 40% or less than half of what they’re charging even with high material costs. If he mils the stuff himself he could build that for almost free and save A few thousand dollars because you only have to pay for the 10 in the hinges and the nails and screws and plywood. The two of you together now would make that a pretty easy job with your skills and if you mailed your own wood instead of using that cheap siding and crab softwood it would probably be a lot stronger and last a lot longer. Really the only thing holding the sheds together is paint and once that water gets under the paint that siding is pretty much trashed so for you guys to buy one I think would be throwing away a few grand but for someone who needs one right away that’s already built it serves a purpose. I think buying a used or re-Po’ed one just depends on the condition it’s in and how much they’re asking but I would definitely negotiate on those repo prices because every place I’ve seen is asking almost with a new one would cost and if they sold to somebody with crappy credit that’s kind of their problem and they’re trying to pass it onto you. The fact that it’s not new even if it’s in perfect condition should knock at least 1000 or two grand off the top of a seven or $8000 building, if it’s got stains inside I had a bunch of stuff done to it, unless it’s exactly what you wanted to do it should be a grand or two less and I think they way overcharged for repose but I’m guessing those prices are somewhat negotiable at most places. I’m sure every dealer is going to be a little different and every building is going to be in a different condition so you just have to kind of see what they have and see what kind of deal you can get

[@davidfischer5339]

Some of those sheds are repoed more than once more than twice

[@odonnellsaussiehomestead8257]

Great insight ,Jared

The last one probably the best one until the previous owners got a hold of it 😬😳... Very janky!

[@reneekeith945]

Very good information thank you. Enjoyed listening to your suggestions. No on the stinky one for sure! 😉 I agree about buying a new one .

[@lindaamerica4587]

Thanks for your video. I was thinking of buying a repo. And I may do it if I find the right size that I have in mind...because the offers are half price of a new one. Builders are jacking up the price of wood these days. So a new 12x36. Cost @ 16K. Not including ground prep and insulation. A new 14x36. With porch, extra windows and floor upgrades and 20% lumber market charge is $23K. Date of estimate is August 2021.

[@wolfbisbing486]

Lol funny this is the first video I’ve watched on your channel after Jason had mentioned you have a channel also. Anyway I like the one with the little porch but without all the crappy after build lol.

[@awesomesauce7535]

I think the repo's could work for a vacation situation but I'd prefer a brand new for the main home. If you are on a really tight budget and handy the repo ones could work for someone too.

[@pamkammann1176]

In December I just bought a 8x16 cottage style shed with the double lofts , I paid 4,100 delivered to my house brand new . It’s just going to be a storage shed but I can’t wait til spring to start organizing to my new shed from my old one . I currently have almost a foot of snow here in Illinois .

[@jimboecker644]

Good job assessing them

[@susandiddle3842]

I buy a new one. Thank u for sharing this.

[@jbbbjj]

I'd be concerned with structural impact (has to be even a tiny amount) that occurs during each move. Adding the extra move may not be worth the risk of long term issues.

[@dennishuntley7688]

LOL....Funny

[@ChosenChildofGod1]

Most definitely at $1,000k new

[@jimward52]

A firm in my state that builds & sells these sheds/cabins braces them with 2x4s on each wall and guarantees no problems.

[@larryfeeks6620]

That last one, double loft with the more than questionable staircase and walkway, was scary!

[@karenhernke281]

I would go with the one for 8100.00 Just my thoughts. Depending on the price of new...you just may be better off. Jared I'm in love with your barn. I would love to have that baby!! Greetings from Wisconsin. Karen

[@billwilliam8146]

For some of the sizes of those things and the price that they're asking you can shop around and buy the material and build it yourself brand new and still save a couple thousand.

[@coleenfarquharson3009]

I love the last one with rhe little varandah..thats what we call it in Jamaica..you guys say porch👍

[@wilycat5290]

I like the 2nd one....windows are good for natural light. Not in bad shape. The $8100 is great. Depends how much you want to spend & what you're going to use it for 😊

[@royclemo8744]

The shed that is painted blue inside looked good. Dicker on the price though as they seem a little pricy for repos. Greetings Jared and Jason, all the way from New Brunswick Canada.

[@tammyvaughn6662]

I like the clean one. It might be worth it to someone who wants it for a project to make it into a guest house.

[@mandyweberding7584]

That cat walk though! LoL 😂 No in all seriousness that’s what gives Shabins a bad name. Thank you both for doing it the right way and showing the world how it can be done. You are both a true inspiration.

I liked #2, of course I'm only interested in a storage/workshop building. Thanks for the videos!

[@georgemarshall7508]

Make sure those buildings are clear of all liens!

[@dennishuntley7688]

For the ones with a smell inside. Simply shake a couple bottles of instant coffee(cheaper the better)on the floor, leave it for a couple days n sweep it out. This is how we freshen Fish trailers before loading produce. Works like a charm.

[@Yvonneb_]

I think the one that was previous to the last one was the best. The last one was definately bad, that was an accident waiting to happen xx

[@clairedeorio9777]

Watched it twice just so I could be sure, I like the one you did that was a little over 8,000. You are very handy and could make it great, with that said, I still like new best. 😀

[@juliedavis1637]

I think I would like a new shed and do it myself.

[@glyles3747]

Your video is very enlighting.

[@cypressblue8877]

Can ask for money off as with this 2nd one oil on the floor, plus trim. Matts bedroom lol. Did you look at the back as well. OMG the nails are from the stairs - unreal. Like the one you like, but then again if your paying for a used one to fix someone crap. Better off with a new one. Stay safe & take care of you all. Thanks for sharing eh :))

[@virginiareid5336]

Well I liked the larger barn style with the missing roof panels. However, I would prefer a new one that I didn't have to fix holes in the walls, ripe out and replace terrible done electrics, and as you mentioned in the one...really bad smells. It sounded to me as if there is a decaying mouse in the woodwork. As for the smoke smell........ Take Care

[@Jean-sh3xu]

I like the last one but honestly I’d go brand new

[@anniejones5806]

The last one make your bed rooms uo stairs.

[@thomasmleahy6218]

@@anniejones5806 yes, but watch your head.

[@maryellencook9528]

For those prices, spend a little more and buy new. The one barn style with the porch would go nicely up at Jason's and make a great cabin for George and Melanie in my opinion. The only reason to MAYBE buy a repo is strictly for a storage shed, not a tiny house.

[@debbienarkansas1926]

I was wondering why NO Coffee with the Crockers today.!! LOL. I had to watch a rerun!! Go with NEW. No buyers remorse. But your idea of showing the Repos Jared was fantastic. But what I am curious about is not "JUST" the price. What needs to be done prior too receiving, cost (Approx) of delivery (Is it per mile?) and is there a set up charge?? AND what is it your are "Thinking" about? Let us know soon! Thank you for sharing.!

[@sandrathomas2145]

I liked the second to last one you showed. I would buy a new one because I am sure they are not discounted much because they would want to try to get as much of their money back as they can.

[@eileenlienhard7218]

I like the $8100 one but I’m with you Jared better to buy new. Howdy Jason!

[@cindykrou]

The next to the last one. The grey one with the 9 light door. If it has an odor a ozone machine will remove it.

[@karinhart489]

Oops, I can’t find my comment now with the way KZbin changed their app last week. I liked the 2nd one, not the 1st, the cottage shed that is 10x16. I like that it overhangs a bit over double doors. As I said previously, I would most likely get it new to use as a workshop/shed since it doesn’t seem like much of a savings. Thanks for making your video, as it helped me see how much light you get naturally through throat kind of window arrangement.

[@alcamerc9923]

Hey Jared, build your own. I’m 85 years old and I’m building mine to my specification. Hop to it, Dude. LOL!

Good video ! If you're handy its worth the money .

[@teresahowell9659]

Jarod as fast as you and Jason work you could build the shed and save LOTS of money.

[@marionwallsten7507]

The third one with the double loft is the best !

[@lynbrown4054]

The second to the last one was the best.

[@lindamarquis6117]

Jared I think it would help to know what a new shed would cost now of the same kind. Also it would help to know, why the shed was being bought ie as a home or for storage or as a barn. I thought that all except the one you really did not like had potential. I think some one who needed a shed and could save a few grand and was handy could get a good deal. However if sheds are like cars sometimes the new one has a better deal from the bank as you can get a loan for a new one and not the used one in some cases.

[@RoseLawrence765]

I like the one that you are in as your favorite choice it seems like it was taking better care of🎈

[@jovitanavarro7247]

Very informative Jared

[@joeygay7115]

The 12x32 fart she'd that you pointed out had cat claw marks on the screen was prob from being locked in by mistake and couldn't hold his breath any longer and wanted at. If it wasn't rank inside it wouldn't be bad but the second to last one would be my choice. The last one would not be good for the little walkway and stairs aren't wide enough to get any furniture up there unless all of it was inflatable

[@jewelsoren7076]

I think the last one would bee the best of you took the stairs out and redid them. It's a little pricey i think. I have to agree with you Jared. Buying new would be better plus you could upgrade the windows and change the 2X4's to 2X6's.

[@rosaking8488]

In the last one I would do a y shaped staircase. A couple steps up then a staircase to the left and one to the right leading up to the lofts with better access.

[@doreenduncan3411]

I like the last one and would leave the bridge but of course redo the supports and do half walls instead of slats at the ends. Looks more like a home and the possibilities are endless. I'm sure you could get them to drop the price a thousand or 2. I also really like the porch. I like used and as long as you have the ways and means you can make it your own and save some money

[@JacobBanman]

depending on the span between lofts, you could use an LVL beam and not even require a center support. There are defiantly options for making it work but yeah those slats at each end would have to go for sure

[@aliash8599]

Okay first of all I'm sorry for leaving yet another comment but on the last one with the two lofts I've been seeing a lot of people putting netting across there so you can use it like to lay down on or you could use it to crawl across to get to the other side it just gives you a little more space but of course you'd have to tear everything else out

[@jodifryer7730]

I would suggest buying the shed new.

[@777Timberwolf]

if you find anything that has a permanent smell such as cigarettes, you can actually get rid of it by having a water spray bottle mixed with baking soda (mix it in warm water with baking soda until deluded, then pour it in the spray bottle). Spray it on everywhere and it is permanently gone forever. we had a disturbing smell one time in our house and used the same baking soda spray bottle and it works wonders.

[@lorraineeagle4009]

Jason should definitely get one of those. Oh. Hi Jason! You should get 1 of the smaller ones. I like the the $8,000 .It would be perfect for my husband and I. God Bless and Love to you both.

[@karinhart489]

I liked the first one for a shed, workshop… but would likely get it new.

[@Lou.B]

It was interesting to see how the space was impacted by that stairway on the last one, and the lofts were too deep. Also, I think I'd rather have the uninterrupted main floor space and just build a traditional porch off the end of the house rather than give away that inside space.

[@joansommerfield8419]

It depends on the condition and what a person wants to do with the building. Also how much price difference there between to new and repo. New is always nice but there are a lots of factors to consider.

[@justbchill4352]

Buying one of the repo shed's only makes sense if your on a budget or if you don't plan to convert it to a tiny home. For a workshop or a small business I would do it in a heartbeat.

Bought a 12x16 barn style repo. Hadn8 foot of loft at the back...and shelves built on back wall. Double end doors and 2 windows.They knocked off the standard 1000 bucks...so it was 2500...but 120.25 month 33 and half payments I paid almost 4000.

Smell is easy to get rid of. Just get a couple boxes of Odar Mute and spray everything down and let dry.

[@sherylgreen1251]

No fart smell or cigarette smell lol the last one is the best one but I would probably start with a new one but ever you decide I know it will be awesome

[@anthonyfranklin7137]

Maybe I like diamonds in the rough, but I would go for the last one. Negotiate even better price because of all that railing and walkway that has to be ripped out. The holes in siding can be filled, and you are going to want to repaint with a really good exterior paint anyway.

[@rosaking8488]

The fly traps are what probably smells! Lol.

Most of them wouldn’t want me, because before I would pay them in full, I may be asking them to redo it.

[@heru-deshet359]
