Spent $250 on a used metal shed and it's already rusting through after one winter

I thought I was being smart saving money over a new one, but the previous owner must have never sealed the floor or something. Anybody else run into this with used metal storage, or is it just me dealing with bad luck?

Oh man, that stings. I bought a used one off Facebook marketplace a couple years back and it looked fine until the bottom edge just crumbled away like wet cardboard. Guess the previous owner stored it on grass without any base layer. Now I just buy new and seal the floor myself before putting anything in it.

Jeez, that's rough... I did the same thing once and now I just buy new sheds so I don't have to worry about someone else's bad storage habits.

Yep @wendy_henderson21, that's exactly why I never buy used sheds now.
