I am trying to buy (first and foremost) a tap tower so I can mount it to my chest freezer in my basement bar area. Heres the deal, I have 4 courney kegs so my thought was to get a stainless 4 tap tower. I have been bidding on Ebay for the past 4 weeks with no such luck... I keep getting outbid at the last second... They get bid to over 200.00 for used ones... I can get a brand new (3 tap tower) on ebay for 160.00 shipped, they are all over ebay for that price... I am sure you guys are aware of what they look like (very basic circular top with 3 taps around the front of the circle. I really wanted 4 taps so I can have a each keg full and on tap at the same time. But am I being too greedy? do I really need 4 kegs at the same time? I am the only beer drinker in the house (my wife only drinks wine). My father in law visits every other weekend and we drink a fair amount of beer... When my Dad comes which isn't as often he enjoys my beer as well (he lovvvved my last one and said why did you only bring a six pack what do you think I am a lightweight? lol)... I guess my question is do I sack up and pay over 200.00 for a used stainless tap tower on Ebay when the next one shows up on there, or do I go the cheaper route and get the standard 3 tap polished stainless (nothing fancy) and keep my 4th keg empty and just rotate them out? Also... If anybody knows a website that sells them for around that price, 200.00 was my MAX I wanted to spend... They can get crazy expensive... If so I will just buy the 4 tap if its in my price range. I've already tried craigslist (no luck)... Thanks for the help guys.
