How much does it cost to purchase a shipping container?

[poseept]

I got a job transfer to Calgary. I've been searching for an apartment for the past few weeks. But I didn't find one. It neither fits my budget nor place. I've read in one of the articles that a shipping container can be converted to a home. Now, I really need shelter, so I'm considering to rent shipping containers in Toronto till I find a perfect apartment that suits my budget. There's an open space nearby my new office, so I'm planning to stay in shipping container over there. I was wondering how much does it cost to purchase a shipping container?
