Me needs to make a few dozen of these and sell them on ebay!

 

[Beau815]

Well if the cooler is $100 and parts are $22 You may make a quick 7 bucks for your labor lol

10 Gal cooler from Home Depot is about 37 bucks. Bargainfittings.com for the ball valve etc and you are golden.

 

[dataz722]

[bob1852]

Interested in any Ocean front property?
If you're paying $100 for these coolers your not looking hard enough. Actually you're plain getting screwed.

Igloo coolers are a bit better than home depot coolers IMHO. I have yet to find that $37 HD cooler online, does anyone have a link? I saw $56. And how much are all the parts at that bargain fittings? 30?, 40?

 

[purechaos]

I picked up a cooler from HD its a rubbermaid just like this

Rubbermaid, 10 Gallon, Orange, Water Cooler, Coolers Have Drip Resista just has a hd logo on it

i picked up parts at lowes for about $20

My HD coolers are Igloo coolers . I bought them last year for 16$ each they were on clearance

 

[Beau815]

Wow! That is the deal of a lifetime... igloo too! Id of had to buy em out for that price.

 

[woollybugger2]

ebay is not the only place that is making money off of them...

10 Gallon Converted Igloo Cooler Mash Tun With False Bottom

The main difference between the HD cooler and the ones listed are the screw on top (red) vs. the push on seat top (white).

 

[purechaos]

My lid is screw on from hd, but it is rubbermaid

For $40 out the door I can't complain

I'd buy immediately if I found $40. I'm actually looking for $40-$45 to buy one.

and buy the way, the Bargain Fittings kits are $21-$34 for Brass and Stainless respectively.
Worst case $56 + $34 = $90
You can Always find them for $56.
Dude is making $40 for a piece of teflon tape and 10 minutes of labor. More like 5 cause I'm sure he doesn't care or check if they leak when shipping.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

That's just nuts. I guess some people would rather just buy it done than spend the 10-30 minutes it takes to do it themselves.

 

[purechaos]

i bought stainless fittings from this guy

WeldlessFittings.com

via ebay. shipping was $5 and i bought a couple of stainless weldess fittings for my kettles too.

cooler fitting was $29, kettles were $26 all stainless

 

[Beau815]

The one I'm looking at was tested overnight for leaks. And its close by and I could pick it up. Wow that one with the false bottom is $119 and shipping is $44 that's insane.

arent you selling this? didnt you have apost in the classifieds for the other ones? that was deleted? i could be wrong but thats what i recall. there is still an artifact in the classifieds forum, but thread is gone.

screw on wouldn't work for me . I use a thermocoupler and I just put it in the cooler and push the lid on . Lid has a small indentation on the side and the wire fits perfectly

No that one was his brother's....

 

[Beau815]

You're a sly fox. Trying to get more traffic so I don't sell too low and lose $, but 37 watchers is good for now Id keep it for a HLT but I have a tiny apt and I can just use a 5 gallon cooler to hold hot water...

 

[purechaos]

Well I wod wager 38 of your 37 watchers are from this forum seeing if it is a profitable venture

 

[Beau815]

I'm not out to screw anyone or get screwed either... im not gonna sell something and not make a profit or id keep it for myself right? Why would anyone sell anything for less than they paid for it? Ya Gaboon. Its out there for the public to decide whats fair and that's what it goes for. How much more fair can I get? Public auction, public decides. Supply and demand. And I had my other one which sold for 130 + shipping = $144 and didn't post that on this site. So If that buyer was from HBT they didn't find it thru here but thru ebay. Still trying to figure out how you got 38 out of 37 people. Maybe meant 37 of 38. That person was from a ritzy part of California, so maybe money wasn't the object and they didn't want to fool around with finding the right parts and assembling.

I just want to know why you don't have a vendor account. You are advertising selling something with the purpose of making a profit.

I just want to know why you don't have a vendor account. You are advertising selling something with the purpose of making a profit.

With that logic, everyone in the classifieds section would have to have a vendors account. If he starts making them and selling them and advertising on here then yes a Vendors Account should be purchased, but if it's a One Time Deal, that's what the classifieds section is for.

He should have mentioned that he was selling it instead of acting like he just found the link and posted it and waiting until we found out it was his ad. A little deceiving there. But hey, if he can get people to pay that much for them, more power to him. You gotta take advantage of the rich and/or lazy. He just won't find many of those here. We all know too well what it's actually worth.

 

[Beau815]

I bought 2 for a soccer team, wow. Come and attack me for getting some of it back so I can buy a cornie someday. And I'm not a damn con artist either, if you don't want it simply don't bid on it. Just don't get mad because the price is going higher than you can afford or want to pay. Judging by your photos and your neighborhood, it seems like you got enough money, so maybe your just in this because that's the type of person you are. I'm not handing it to you for $40 bucks like your my brother. Also, who is to say what a profit margin is? Perhaps my sister in law got 3 of these at a silent auction at work in which she bid 10 on one and 5 on the other 2 just in case, and won all 3. Then I'm supposed to sell for $5 a piece? Give me a break buddy. These igloo's are clearly 69-99 on all websites and the parts are 24 at Lowe's so were looking at 93 bucks for THIS specific one at a minimum. YES you may find cheaper brands or coolers out there, then buy them. Some people want Caddys and others say that Kias can still get you from A to B.
