i dont have 1 to offer you, but when i bought mine i bought it off amazon, i think it was around $17, and on most stuff if you spend over 25 they ship free (so SWMBO got some perfume). granted it is one of the really really really crappy ones, but with a little modification, actually not to much, it provides a good crush

From what I have heard they take forever to crush 14 pounds of gain. how true is that ¿

Fairly true, my first 10 gallon batch took forever to crush by hand, but I bought a bolt that fit in the standard drive hole and a socket adaptor for a electric drill, total investment $30 for a double bucket setup with a water cooler hopper, and electric drive. Made grinding the grain for the second batch of beer so much easier

I would guess it is going to be tough to beat $25 shipped. Hooked up to a 1/2 drill a corona mill could crush a 55 lb sack in a reasonable amount of time.
I thought they all were crappy chinese junk, I had no idea you could by a non crappy corona

From what I have heard some are cast a bit better then others.
Ok, maybe some are just bad, others are horrible...just kidding around...crudely manufactured would be an accurate description IMO. Bottom line is that they work pretty well IME.

This was my experience. Mine is garbage. It gets the job done, but I had to replace all of the hardware on it.
