I've been selling unique Modern stainless steel mailboxes on eBay for some time now and thought all of you in search of a mailbox might consider checking it out.  I have 2 styles that are made completely out of stainless steel and one is wall mounted and one is free standing.  Both are locking for extra security and they are reasonably priced starting at only $87 inclusive of delivery.  Please feel free to check me out on eBay my seller ID is urbanehomehardware (all one word) which you can search for on eBay or email me direct at urbanehomehardware@yahoo.com if I can answer any questions or be of further assistance

Well, I'll start.

We finally bought a house after 6 months of crashing with my parents (the agony!) and so one of the first things I ordered for our new abode (we close on March 16) is a new mailbox. I had admired the [url href=http://www.umbra.com/cgi-bin/umbra.storefront/422db2d909929c0e273f0a00003505e2/Product/View/4603222D1]postino mailbox[/url] I saw at Umbra for a while, but when it came time to buy, I found the same thing at [url href=http://www.cb2.com]cb2[/url]. Yee haw!

My next hunt is for cool house numbers, so I'll probably go with [url href=http://www.sporeinc.com/products.html]spore[/url]. Any other good ideas?

I had also liked the postino wall mounted mailbox, but the pricetag seemed a bit much for a mailbox. I really wanted stainless and I really wanted modern to match the house. On a trip though Ikea I was on my way out when I spotted the ordning breadbox on a shelf in the kitchen section. The cool rounded design and stainless steel construction were exactly what I wanted. I love the curved top slides open. Also who could argue with the price? I bought black vinyl numbers at the hardware store and just need to drill two holes to mount it by the door. When I brought it home my family thought I was crazy, but after the numbers went on, they saw that it's actually quite cool. Eventually, my sweetie wants to build a stone and glass faced column to house a locking mailbox by the walkway. Until that happens, this is a good solution. Attached see a quick mockup I made in Photoshop of how it will look on a wall.
