Since I'm a kegging newbie and only have one corny (new), in everybody's opinion, where is the best place to buy RELIABLE, WORKING, used kegs in good condition or better? I've seen a bunch of places that will only guarantee the keg will hold pressure. There's gotta be places with kegs in better condition.

Thanks in advance.

Try this link. One of the items is a fully rebuilt keg, including seals and poppets for $27.50. Not a bad price if you don't want to do it yourself.

Check ebay. If you aren't gouged for shipping like me (my location), then they usualyy have a few used ones.

You know you've been brewing too long, when you can't remember when you got that good deal on four re-built kegs ... I think it was morebeer, but I don't see any on their site at this time.

The key word is re-built. This means clean with new rings, not just pressure tested.

I bought used ball lock cornies on ebay in March. Eight kegs, eight 5-piece gasket sets, and shipping from coast to coast cost me $156. That's an avarage price of only $19.50 each! I had to change the gaskets myself, but it only takes about 5 minutes. Keep shopping around, you can find some really great deals on ebay.

Thanks for all your suggestions, guys. On a whim, I checked the sabco website (keggles, anyone?), and they were offering completely rebuilt, caustic washed kegs (buffed to a shine on the outside, I might add) for $31.95. Not the cheapest I could find, I'm sure, but I was impressed with my keggle and their overall quality. Northern Brewer was offering re-conditioned kegs (no new parts, pressure tested only) for $30.00. I figured $2 more for all those precautions was a steal.

I'm sure I'll be post again within the next few days when I get ready to keg for the first time!
