craigslist add feeler

This is a local guy trying to sell his setup, i think that it is a good deal and all i would like to keep is a carboy or 2 and along with a keg. I was thinking if i could just sell the rest of the stuff and break even on my money that i would be happy. Just seeing if anyone would like to take any of it if i pick it all up from this guy?

You willing ot ship stuff?

If its worth me to get 2 kegs shipped and the co2 bottle across the country then I'm in.

try and knock that price down a bit. In my opinion youll be paying too much at the asking price and will lose money trying to resell

Same, looking at as many kegs as I can get + shipping.

I agree, that price is way too high. Usually a sale like this would go whatever the price for the big ticket items and the rest is tossed in for free/next to nothing.

That is my hunch too. You might break even, but barely, and it'll take selling everything. For rough estimates: $25-30 / carboy (total $180), $40/keg (total $120) that you want to sell. Not really sure what the co2 tank would sell for, and the regulator maybe $35. Maybe $20-30 for the mill and $20 for the capper too. The rest of the stuff will sell for a couple bucks here and there. That brings your total to ~$400 plus whatever you can get for the little pieces.

I have done a couple giant buy's from craigslist and each time got a LOT more stuff than that guy is selling for less money. Granted they were absolute steals and I was lucky, but IMO too much effort and money up front if all you want is a keg and a carboy.

Just my 2 cents.

I would take the blue carboy stand and the corona mill if you ship

Haha no I missed that! I guess it wasn't all that profitable for him or he wouldn't be selling everything.

Just noticed that it's in the "business/commercial - by owner" section of Craigslist too.

I don't see $500, not even $400...carboys and cornies are worth about $30. Even if you only pay 2-300 hundred, you could keep a few bits, but what a hassle trying to ship kegs and worse yet glass...

I also live in SB and would take a couple things, but as others have said, this seems overpriced.

For me the only things there that I would pay any shipping for would be the kegs. Everything else I already have or would not even take for free - the glass carboys -

I'll be passing through in June and would be interested in a few kegs, blue carboy stands, and maybe a 6.5 carboy and 3gal. But also at the lower end resale value. PM me.

Not a good deal if you ask me. oh and he has sold a keg and a carboy
