Group buy for Used 5 Gallon Ball Lock Kegs $25

[IrregularPulse]

all 104 kegs are accounted for a paid for.

I just got off the phone with my guy he is finishing washing the kegs and pressure testing them. I will pick up 50 on Sat and 50 on sunday.

its going to make a nice picture with 100 kegs in my garage.

like I said as I ship these you guys/girls will get an email tracking number and I will be updating the list here.

Where are you storing the other 4? And why don't they get to be in the picture? Red Heads? Step-kegs?

well last time picked up 50 kegs they all fit in the back. I could have fit another two back there and then I have the passenger seat that can fit probably 5 kegs.

its just easier to say 100 than 104 or 103 or 106 what ever that total is now.

Don't sweat the details Jason. IP can be pretty OCD.......

Is this likely to be a regular thing or a one-time thing?

I need to wait awhile before I make another significant homebrewing purchase (to make sure I stay happily married) but once things have cooled off a little I'll want to buy a few if you can keep doing this.

 

[juslod]

Wow, I have been busy for a few days and it really looks like I missed out big time! I need 2 to complete my kegerator build so I will be watching this in case there is another pack

 

[Flomaster]

I'll find out tomorrow if there are any more kegs to be had. IF there are any left buyer is picking up the shipping tab via UPS.COM OR what ever shipping method they want. I can't run another group buy through my companies UPS account as I am already violating the policy and could actually get fired for this should a higher up bean counter find out.

If you manage to get your hands on more kegs, please put me down for four. I've been wanting to break in to kegging and this would be a great start. Thanks.

i would be interested 1 if you can get anymore. as for shipping, i dont have a UPS account but i would gladly paypal you a few bucks extra ($5-$10) to keep you from getting fired.

 

[Patirck]

Count me in if you come across any more. I have a ups account to do the shipping. How much do they weigh and what zip code are they shipped from?

 

[mchal]

would like two. tried g-mail & it just sent me back here. anyway, Thanks Hal.

I can't process any more personal shipping charges through work. you can however print and pay for your own ups label and email it to me I can print it and slap it on the box, but like I said shipping to NY from AZ was $26 per keg.

[Flomaster]

well here is the first of two trips. I got 50 in the back of the truck and 4 in the passenger seat.

just a little reassurance that I am not skipping town with y'alls money

I'll pickup the remaining 50 tomorrow morning. I'll start boxing and shipping on monday but it might be slow going depending on how many usable boxes i have at work.

[418Brewing]

Well I'll probably end up passing on it then. $50 each isn't bad but I can get them at my LHBS for that much or less iirc.

pass on what? all 104 from rounds 1 & 2 are accounted for, and paid for...

there is no round 3....

 

[rtrevino]

I would also be in on another group buy. Let us know if there arer going to be more.

 

[Toecutter]

If you happen to go another round, I'd be tempted to drive over from California for a dozen or more. I know where your located, up by Prescott. The gas would Probably be cheaper than shipping

Prior posts answer your question.

Hey there I have not read through the last few posts but in regards to the boxes have you checked out Uline? We use them at work and you can get any dimensions that you need and they are very reasonable. Exact measurement boxes might save on shipping... Just a thought in case you hadn't checked them out. Thanks again Flo!

Dammit, can't believe i missed out on this. Let me know if you've got any leftovers or people who backed out. I'd be interested in a few.

I am not going to pay $1.50 out of pocket per keg that would be $150 out of my pocket just for boxes. I'd probably have to pay for shipping to get the boxes to me as well. Thanks for the offer though, but I'll pass.

on a better note I have all kegs in my possession.

if anyone wants the full resolution image let me know and I'll upload it on my dropbox account.

I have as many kegs loaded into my civic as I can put and hopefully there is enough boxes at work to get them all shipped out on my lunch break.

Nice work Jason. Have fun with the shipping!

I was thinking of you while loading up the second batch. how i had no idea where to drop your kegs off so I'll just ship them to you.

[bob1852]

Don't ship mine - we can figure out a way.

 

[LakewoodBrew]

Flomaster - rather than boxing them all you might want to just wrap them in that packaging syran wrap and boxing tape... it's way cheaper and lighter. I bought a couple kegs not too long ago and that's how they were shipped... worked out fine. Have fun. Let us know if there will be a round 3.

I am guessing you didn't front the shipping on those kegs either, if so you would have paid an extra $5-6 per keg that wasn't boxed. I already looked into it. Called UPS talked to two customer service people and even went into a UPS.com store with a single keg and asked how much to ship to new york. just the keg out of box was $31 and with a box its $26.

plastic wrap means nothing, if you ship anything that is not BOX like you get charged extra plastic wrap or not. kegs being cylindrical get the extra $5 fee.

if I was shipping these out on the buyers ups account I could care less because it wouldn't be costing me an extra $5. but I'll be dammed if I am going in accrue an extra $500 in shipping charges because I shipped with out a box.

and yes we have received items before at work and they were shipped using our ups account. they weren't boxed but wrapped in plastic wrap and we were charged the normal rate PLUS an extra $5 for the item not being boxed.

HOLY CRAP!!! That is awesome.

 

[jeffmeh]

It's a good thing that they are the two-handled style, so that you could stack them.

Anyone else really want a bowling ball? That would be an amazing sound! But really nice picture. Really puts this into perspective. I'll be interested to see actual shipping, do definitely deserve to making some serious profit from all this. I thought it was a PITA when I sold 25.

 

[cincybrewer]

I think Jason needs to climb up on those and lay across them for a picture. Just be careful though...don't want to hurt those kegs

 

[Flomaster]

all kegs have been taken down so I could park in the garage

I can't stand getting into a car with leather seats when they are 20 F°
