[sfish]

Just thought someone may be interested in buying this. Listed on craiglist in northern Maryland.

http://baltimore.craigslist.org/for/4636390732.html

For Sale - 275 - 5 Gallon Kegs. Can be used for home brewing, water storage, etc. I have roughly 275 of these available. Were previously used for Pepsi Cola premix fountain units. Available singly or buy them all. Make an offer on the entire lot if you're interested in all of them.

Good grief. How does one just come across $9k worth of kegs? Minimum

 

[jbaysurfer]

not when you're buying in bulk. 9k would be a ripoff. I wouldn't pay a penny over 6k and that'd be top dollar. Many of those kegs will require rebuilding at a minimum to hold pressure.

If you own a HBS, this might be a great way to make money for you if you've got the space to store them and the energy to rehab them.

I think this was a PSA. I could be mistaken, but I thought OP was merely informing us of the CL post. Not selling them himself.

$60 for a ball lock isn't bad I guess. I could actually go there but I am already committed to pin lock I know I could buy conversion kits but then the price is too high.

PSA are always good....and you are right about them having to be rebuilt with a new gasket set etc...
Wish there was a price...but man that would be awesome to have that many.

LOL..tell me about it. I already daydreamed. Shipping would be prohibitively expensive though. I do have friends with an LHBS so I'll probably tell them about it anyway...

Yes just a small fish informing of the post... thought maybe someone in business could resell these

Im about 30 min from bmore. Wonder about buying 100! What type of deal. I really cant see paying more than 3k for 100. And Im not sure if thats even a great deal then with the rebiuld

 

[mkringii]

Used ball locks are $70 at minimum on west side michigan.. And getting harder.. We l know that..

$25-30 each is great deal.. And jus mix and match parts sell to hd pressure (must of these will jus need new gaskets) and sell em for $10 less than ur lhbs .. I did this with a lot of 50 i bought.. Fixed up 40 out the 50 with the parts of the other 10 and sold them all.. Used that profit to fix up the other ten and still made roughly 1k

Guess im still on thw fact I paid $40 each shipped and they were all rebuilt with new everything. But that was 4 years ago! Amazing how times have changed. Time to start switching to sanke! I have 9 ball locks now! Looks like I could sell and buy the same amount of sanke

Hey P.V.Hops,

Just curious ~ wondering. Did you contact the seller?

Well you could order from Adventures in Homebrewing where the used ball lock kegs are $60 (with a set of gaskets) + their $5 Michigan Shipping.

I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to. But maybe I'll do it just to see what he says.

Group buy anyone?

 

[sfish]

Group buy I will for 1 lets see the price when negotiated.

This would be my first keg

You can get them from homebrewing.org as cheap if not cheaper anytime and they ship. I buy pin locks from them all the time, 5gal pin locks $125. for 4.

The sale is for ball locks though. They run more because they're supposedly in short supply or something like that. $125 for 4....I'd do that all day for ball locks.

 

[BlkWater_brewer]

I know, I was making a point. They still have Ball locks as well as cheap as $49.99 each. BTW I was able to convert the pins to ball lock by simply unscrewing the valves and swapping. Cost me 9.99 a swap.

True but those are loose handle usually and for me, I only have ball locks for their size which would be defeated if I converted. But I get the point. If these ball locks aren't loose handle and not super destroyed then it may be a good buy overall. Who knows.

Wholesale pricing on pressure tested kegs are around $26 from a beverage company. I would offer 15/per for bulk lots of dirty kegs.

Second this.

 

[fearwig]

Gonna be sitting on those a while at $60 even for ball locks, that's about what MDHB sells them for last I checked, and they'd vouch for the condition. You can get cosmetically questionable pin locks for almost exactly 1/2 that price, shipped (assuming shipping on 4 of them--so, not bulk).

Yo Chad, I think if you quote him that may work a little. I haven't seen him around much.

 

[mikeysab]

Thanks Olga. I was just hoping he'd get the email notification on this and see that i've been trying to get in touch with him. Been sending pm's and thats not working.
