Looks like a decent price.

I've never used the guy, but I have trouble believing his spiel that the costs are going to go higher than that "soon".

I'd recommend searching your city for a pepsi/coke distributor, or even a beverage service company that services CO2 and fire extinguishers. A buddy told me about one in my city and they sell cornys for 2 for 25 bucks. That is freaking awesome because then I can pick out the kegs myself AND not worry about paying shipping too. I plan on picking up 2 every paycheck until I have a nice stash of around 15 or so.

Dang, Chairman. I forgot we know the former owner of the Coke bottling plant in GP. They've relocated down here and see my parental units pretty frequently, so I'll ask to see if there's a good (which is to say cheap) way to get cornies up there.

there is a guy selling corny kegs by the pairs. Each pair is going around $25-$30, he puts a few pairs up at a time. I got two from him and they were in great shape, one was a little dirty the other was not. I think I got them for $25 + $15 shipping to california.

Single kegs at my LHBS go for about $45

Here are his current listings (no I am not affiliated in any way)

I have also purchased kegs on ebay from dewdudemike and have been very pleased with them.

Dewdudemike is in my area. He is very reputable and an all around good egg. I will vouch for him personal like. I have bought 5 kegs from him thus far and am planning on another 30.:rockin:

This is where I got mine...since I live in the middle of nowhere Colorado. Mine look great and came with a little bit of pressure in them and have a zip tie seal to them after he pressure tested 'em. I think I paid $45 total for two.

That's where I've bought all mine thus far, and they've been very hit and miss. Some were clean, some far from it. Some held pressure, some didn't. Overall not a bad deal, though.

I've never seen one with a ziptie on them, so I wonder if that's something they started doing recently?

The major soda companies have pretty much switched to boxes of syrup.. Cornys are not being manufactured as much as before and probably will cease production soon if they havent already, so he has a point Dude.


His shipping is huge makes the kegs $31 each My LHBS sells them for $25

Edit: found this guy on ebay he has good deals on kegs: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZsuperlarryQQhtZ-1 4 for $50

 

[Jester4176]

I forgot who I bought through, and I'll look it up if anyone wants me too. But, I paid $108.50 for 6 kegs shipped with full o-ring kits and blow off valves for each one. That was the best price I could find at the time. That's only $18.03 each. Considering my LHBS sells for $35 each, I thought this was a steal.

i would definitely be interested in knowing where you got such a deal from. thanks!
