So I found a couple of kegs for sale. I immediately jumped on it. I have not gotten them yet and I am now having second thoughts.
I decided a while back that I would not go the keggle route because of the possible ethical ramifications of stolen kegs. I just did not want to go there, plus I was not having any luck finding any leads
Well, I amost got an already converted keggle, but that did not pan out. So, I started reconsidering and now I have a lead on 2.
The seller claims they were in a garage he cleaned out and they have no id of where to return them. He mentions they can be used for homebrewing or sold to a scrap yard. That is what is causing me to reconsider. Why doesn't he return them himself? He is asking for more than scrap value; $40 for both, but he is willing to go lower. What is scrap value btw?
I am thinking a) they are stolen, or b) they are really found in a garage and he does not know to whom they belong, but he is nervous about selling them to a scrap dealer himself. Reason being recently the VT brewers association started a reward program for reporting stolen kegs and is working to get scrap yards to take license plate # and id of people selling kegs to them.
Sound fishy to you folks? Would would you do?
