Depending on how serious you want to get with making plat while you level early on, there is a strategy you can try. Seek out a high level magician that's bored in EC tunnel, and politely ask if they'll make you 4-6 or so Ten Slot summoned glowing backpacks. Offer them a generous tip (like 6+ plat per bag) for their trouble - nearly all of them will turn this down, but offer them something.
No Rent items and their contents will go POOF after having been logged off for more than 30 minutes, but you can store them eternally on a corpse. So once you have the bags, loot every rusty or cloth or whatever you come across and at the end of your play session, ground twink the bags over to a level 1 alt and have the alt punch a guard out to make a corpse.
Then twink them back at the start of a new play session. This is usually a bit of a time sink and a hassle UNLESS you have a level 19+ druid on your account. At that point you have a really easy time shuttling the bags around as you level up across Norrath.
By and large, this server is really ultra stable so as long as you just keep loot items and not especially valuable items in the bag, you'll have them for a really long time with minimal risk.
