Actually, when you look at it the deal is not that great. $60 + $55 shipping = $115
AND the tops or bottoms (depending on the keg) are in the process of falling off. The seller says they’re "loose." They’ll still hold pressure but you’ll need to doctor them up with Shoe Goo or some other glue to keep them in one piece.

MoreBeer sells four kegs in better shape for $125 with free shipping.

And I bet you can find some better deals if you dig a bit.

By the time you buy the kegs and the glue for the first offer you might save yourself $1 per keg.

Hmmm. Their website says, "For the remainder of the month Keggle Brewing is selling 4 packs of ball lock kegs with loose rubber tops or loose rubber bottoms, otherwise these are good working kegs. Kegs will be cleaned inside and out and shipped with a new set of O-Rings."

Yeah, I was alittle worried about that when I ordered, however, I am pleased with the kegs. They all had presure and seem to be in pretty good shape, no stickers and shit. I paid $80 for 4 (that includes shipping)

That’s good to hear. I just ordered 4 (I can always use more kegs) and ended up paying $87.45 including shipping.

There are 2 shipping options and Priority Mail or UPS may be the cheaper rate depending on where someone lives. Since I’m in CT, the rate for UPS Ground was $27.45 and the Priority Mail rate was $39.50.

IMO, the fact that these are reconditioned make them a good deal. All I really care about is that they can hold a seal.

On a separate note, does anyone have a good source for getting a cheap deep socket for ball lock kegs? I’ve been using a wrecnh and some elbow grease up to now which is a pain in the ass and the socket I have for my pin lock kegs isn’t deep enough.
