I called around (IDH, Aaron's, SeeNSea, OC) and the going price seems to be from $165-$180. I haven't ever purchased a new tank locally and was wondering if/which shops here negotiate at all on their prices? I've read how some shops (mainland) will throw in free fills, I'm not sure if this is unheard of here. Stupid me missed out on Aaron dive shop's last tent sale a month or so ago, they had an new AL80 going for $125.

Watch the paper, craigs list ect for used ones. Might even post a wanted add or two. No need to buy new, plenty of used around for half price.
Post a wanted add here too! Plenty of lurkers that may have one or two.

We also have some used aluminum 80's for sale. They're priced from $75-125 depending on last hydro date.
Just a quick side note, if you buy used from a person and not a dive shop, you'll probably want to get the tanks checked out. Get a hydro done on them. I got two free tanks from a friend and it cost me $100 to get them inspected and hydro'd.
