Igloo coolers are a bit better than home depot coolers IMHO. I have yet to find that $37 HD cooler online, does anyone have a link? I saw $56. And how much are all the parts at that bargain fittings? 30?, 40?

ebay is not the only place that is making money off of them...

10 Gallon Converted Igloo Cooler Mash Tun With False Bottom

The main difference between the HD cooler and the ones listed are the screw on top (red) vs. the push on seat top (white).

I'd buy immediately if I found $40. I'm actually looking for $40-$45 to buy one.

and buy the way, the Bargain Fittings kits are $21-$34 for Brass and Stainless respectively.
Worst case $56 + $34 = $90
You can Always find them for $56.
Dude is making $40 for a piece of teflon tape and 10 minutes of labor. More like 5 cause I'm sure he doesn't care or check if they leak when shipping.

That's just nuts. I guess some people would rather just buy it done than spend the 10-30 minutes it takes to do it themselves.
