New to kegging questions

[cd38]

Long story short, I got a 2 tap kegerator yesterday as a gift from one of our Account Managers. I am now looking to get 2 kegs. I looked on craigslist and saw some for 25 bucks emailed the guy and he replied this

"All the kegs I have left are $25 each, firm. They have the pressure relief valves capped off....they can still be vented by depressing the gas input. They work just the same as any other kegs and hold good pressure. "

I have never kegged before and do not know much about it, would you guys see this as a problem or is it ok and a good deal. Also it is a danby mini fridge can remember the dimensions but there is about 2ft for the co2 tank, what size tank would this hold.

Thanks HBT

I know you can get 30 dollar referb kegs from many of the vendors so I'd pass these by as I'd like to have my pressure relief valve.

yea LHBS has kegs for 39.99 might just do that

I have two kegs with no pressure relief. Been using them for years with no problems. I use the gas-in port to relive pressure.

Keg Connection shouldn't be too far from you. (Same state at least ) They have some nice reconditioned kegs. I would personally pass on ones with a capped relief valve. I don't know why anyone would do that in the first place.

Pass on these....You will need the release valve quiet often if you are new to kegging....at least I did.
