When is a sale on tanks?

FlyinV · Post by **FlyinV** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 10:39 am

I am planning on buying 2 HP 119s unless I stumble across some used on the next couple months.
I can remember in the past sometimes shops in the area had a sale on tanks.

Does anyone know if thats a yearly thing and one will be coming up soon?

Early-mid summer there are frequently some "sales". But they are often limited to stock on hand and I've seen a whole pallet full of tanks get bought in a few hours. That's a long time to wait for a mere chance to save ~$60-70 on a couple of tanks.
Used can be a good deal if you know what you're buying, but 119s don't come up very often.

That's a few seconds longer than "cheap" used 130s!

what's the going rate for a pair of 119's w/ good hydro/vip?

Whatever you're willingto pay MZ

New they are $375-390 so you are dreaming if you think you'll find any with a good amount of hydro time left for <$300 IMHO. Only dove by a little old lady on Sundays

I have a pair of 119s I'd part with if you can find me a pair of 130s to replace them at a delta on my end of <$100 for the pair (terms subject to hydro schedules).

Yeah $300 is reasonable I think if there's > 1 year left on hydro.
I'd actually prefer LP tanks on price point but those almost never come up with galvanized finish, they are all darn painted Fabers.
