NorCal Soda Company Selling "hundreds" of Corny Kegs on CL

This is not my ad. I saw it on CL this morning and thought I'd pass it along:

He does not provide an email, only a phone number. I called and left a message to get more info. Not sure he'll ship... maybe local pickup only.

You won't be able to afford them after shipping. $35 and $45 already. Probably $50 to ship 4 of them.

45 for a dirty corny that you may have to replace the o rings . Pass

Is 35$ really that cheap?

he was only trying to help.

Its a legit question...I'm looking to get into kegging, is 35 pretty cheap for cornys?

Yeah, I live in Northern Calif. and have seen this add before. I left a voicemail, once, and never got a call back. He want's $10 more for ball-lock! I ended up getting a reconditioned, clean, ball-lock corny for $49 + 5 dollars shipping.

Keep in mind that I'm only 20 miles from William's Brewing. Their shipping rate averages $6 no matter if it is a keg or 1 oz. of hops. I bet it would be close to the same shipping rate for you to Pleasent Hill.

Anyway, this buy was totally worth it. The keg arrived better than pictured, seals good and keg clean.

I've bought a few kegs, in the past, from craigslist folks (averaging $40) and the quality is hit and miss.

Good Luck!

I haven't bought any yet but I always see them listed from most LHBS and on brewing supply websites listed for $35 to $45 cleaned with new seals and pressure tested. So for a dirty untested corny with old seals that might be a little high especially with shipping sight unseen. Might be ok if you can go pick a few and do it yourself.
