Shipping tank to Bonaire

[Joneill]

They sell them for $299 because I called some on them. So however buying at that cost is who I'm targeting

I'm still not following the logic of this endeavor? Are you trying to make money by doing his? How about the cost of the inspection for 1st fill and the inconvenience of waiting for refills?

I would already have the visual done for nitrox and the cost to fill owner tanks is $6.50

You can't ship it with a valve on - so will the shop accept an inspection you did here? I'm assuming you have free bag check or that will be an expense as well as tanks are not light? The burning question still remains - why not just rent tanks?

There shouldn't be a cost for inspection in Bonaire. Waiting is an aspect to factor in. Trying to save money only

A 6 day unlimited tank package with Dive Friends is $180:

Seems like you are going through a lot of hassle to actually spend more? $180 for a tank package versus $170 for a new tank (that will be used when/if sold), cost to inspect, and $6.50 for each fill? Math doesn't seem to add up or am I missing something?

$180 times two weeks $360 minus cost of cylinder could get 55 fills, thats 4 dives a day. I may average 2 a day

OK - good luck and I hope you can actually sell the cylinder (and for the cost you desire)...

I'm interested in someone that want a good deal instead of paying Bonaire retail, if y'all ain't that person there's no need for any discussion

If you don't want any discussion, don't post on a public forum... otherwise, folks will want to understand what you are trying to do as it was not clear? No offense is intended by the questions - so deal with it (and be happy for the bumps)...

You going to dive one tank then wait to have it filled so you can do your next dive? Seriously?

I've heard of some wacky ways to save money but this make the least sense of any I've heard.

No-one wants to buy one from you at full retail. And yours will be used not new.
