Might buy some tanks

Well, I called an LDS. They want $159 for a brand new Al80 filled. And they charge $25/tank for the tank works (hydro, VIP and valve servicing). So if I can get him down to around $80 per tank, it'll still be worth it. Around here anyway.
Thanks Wayward Son.

Regardless of use, if the hydro is out then the tanks will need to be hydro'd.

You're correct. My mistake. That's a law that's enforced in the US.

I would offer to pay him about $80 if he'd pay to get a current hydro & vip. I have never understood why someone would pay more for a used tank than they would for new tank. That's what can easily happen with a used tank when you factor in a hydro, vip & valve service. Plus there is always a chance it won't pass hydro. Then you would end up with nothing except an empty wallet.

I have bought a few used tanks, but only if the hydro was less than a year old & a vip with at least 6 months remaining.
