Inexpensive yet very effective bulk box storage

For anyone in the UK I recommend these: https://www.solentplastics.co.uk/scuba-box-xl-black-water-resistant-storage-trunk/

I left some scrunched up newspaper sheets inside for a week which got rid of the plastic smell.

For humidification I use four 65% Bovedas, I'm using the same ones I put in there three years ago and they've barely lost any weight which tells me that the box is keeping a good seal.

Room location is a factor for sure. I store mine in the basement in a closet. Very minimal temperature swings all year around as no exposure to sunlight as well and the basement is below grade.

When it comes to buying aged cigars, I wonder how much of a discount, or if any at all, would a buyer seek if they know the cigars were stored in a Tupperware bin as opposed to an aristocrat, wineador, or warehouse? I've never seen anyone specifically say "Tupperware" on Bonds Roberts, but I do wonder if some does and if that affects the final price?

Unless someone specifically states that the sticks being sold were kept in that kind of an environment and given the opportunity on BR to say so, how would one know? Also, I know from personal experience with my own collection that the cigars I have aging in these bins are just as well kept and taste as great as any others I have in desktops or my coolidor (can't attest to a cabinet yet as mine hasn't arrived).

I think depending on the exterior conditions around the tupperdor and how they're stored interiorly, it makes a difference.  I don't sell anything on BR or have a plan to at anytime, as I buy to smoke for personal enjoyment and not to sell, but I guess one could argue that it may make a difference in the final price of the cigars if it truly made a difference in the aging process and overall taste of the cigars, but I have no evidence negatively impacting my personal experience with the aging of sticks in said tupperdors.  Personal opinion of course, but its been a proven method for lots of people.  

I'm sure there's people who don't want their sticks stored in these and I get it, but until there is an option for sellers to put this kind of storage condition under their selling post, no one will probably know
