Cyber Monday - 525SS Deals?

[thadius856]

Was looking to pick up six 525SS faucets in January before they start falling out of stock for the new 600-series replacements (I want to match my existing 525SSes). However, Cyber Monday might make me jump a little quicker for them.

I do not need the beer nut nor tailpiece (John Guest fittings instead), and I don't need the tap handle (using the yeast vial adapters). That seems to rule out the sets that I had planned to re-buy from Birdman Brewing (sorry!).

Anybody seen good deals on 525SS faucets?

Best offer I've seen so far:

Adventures in Homebrewing (Homebrewing.org): Cybeer Monday Sale

6 faucets @ $32.99 ea
1oz Gelatin (filler) @ $1.99 ea
+ NO TAX
+ $13.44 shipping
= $211.38
- $10 gift card (200 reward pts from purchase)
- $10 gift card (200 reward pts from first two faucets)
- $10 gift card (200 reward pts from second two faucets)
- $10 gift card (200 reward pts from third two faucets)
= $40 in gift cards for future purchase
= $171.38 net cost / $28.56 per faucet (shipped)

Unfortunately, they don't carry 4-1/8" stainless shanks (only 3-1/8" stainless and 4-1/8" chromed), so I don't know what I'd even use the gift cards on. :\


Edit: AIB reduced the price from $32.99 to $29.99, but only honored the points on the first two 525SS faucets. This changes the price per to $28.90 when buying 6.

Two 3-pk 525SS faucets @ $92.99 ea
+ NO TAX
+ $15.83 shipping

This is the first I've seen about new Perlick faucets. I'll need 3 faucets soon and was planning on getting the 525SS. Do you know anything about the 600 series faucets? I couldn't find anything online. I'm wondering if I should wait and pick up the new versions (or the old ones on clearance). Thanks!

 

[thadius856]

I realllly doubt the old ones will go on clearance. I'm pretty sure the 425SS didn't.

Not much info out there right now. I would expect they're very similar to the 525SS, except with a few minor fixes.

I'd personally buy the 525SS now and let them last you many many years, but if you have to always be cutting edge, then hold off for the 630SS.

Check Rochester fixtures, they used to have the best prices. They are more of a bar supplier, but have no problem selling to the public. I got my trunk line, tower faucets, etc from them. They are real nice.

How do you guys know about a new perlick faucet? There doesn't seem to be any info anywhere online.
