    Craigslist is where I get all my best deals on kegs.

    i cant find any cheaper than $60 bucks. I got mine years ago for $20 bucks from an old friend, what is a good price on a used corny?

    I'd say $50 is decent. Lowest I have ever gotten is $25. I've seen them go for $70, which is a rip off. Best deals are when you find someone selling a couple of them with a CO2 tank and regulator. Buy it all for one price, sell off the tank and regulator to make back some of the money.

    That's actually a good deal. Like @riptorn said, buy 4 for $180, sell one for $60, you now have 3 you only paid $40/each for.

    And they are already pressure tested. Buying them used online you could end up with crap and not know until it's too late.

    Sorry buddy. That ship has sailed.
    All of the good used ones are gone. Mostly.
    All of these?
    Gone.

    I bought a couple from here recently. $60 each inc shipping to KS. Cleaned, pressure tested, good condition.

    @BayAreaBased, if you (or anyone else) is still in the market for corny's:
    AIH currently has 20% off the most expensive item in your cart, good through Sunday (4/24) @ 11:59:59 pm PST if you use coupon code funbrew20 at checkout. Final price $144 and eligible for free shipping.

    (Disclaimer....I am unaffiliated with AIH other than being an occasional customer)

    I would also prowl Craiglist, and FB marketplace, I guess.

    I would think these days much under $50 would be a good deal. Much like anything, the price has gone up.

    I also got some $25 ones back in the day, and that was only like 6 or 7 years ago!

    Didn't AIH get bought out by Northern Brewer/ InBev? I no longer buy from AIH for this reason. Doesn't matter how cheap their kegs are.
