Potential homeowners in search of a unique dwelling now have a new source for their residential needs: the e-commerce giant Amazon.
 
According to a report on Curbed.com, the Wisconsin-based company MODS International is selling 320-square-foot homes on Amazon that use new sea containers as their structural shell. These homes include a bedroom, small bathroom, kitchenette, appliance and a living area (albeit not a large one). 
 
The cost of this residence is $36,000, and shipping the 7,500-pound structure requires an additional $4,500 fee
