Where to look for tanks?

[Gelirfella]

Any tips or locations to watch for used tanks other than the classifieds here? eBay seems like it sucks for tanks. Trying to find a set of lp95s. Found a local Facebook group for gear that occasionally has tanks pop up on it, but it’s been difficult to snag them. Watching the classifieds here but not a lot of tanks posted from my area and no one wants to ship tanks. Just have difficulty justifying the 1k shops want for a new doubles set.

I've gotten from Craigslist and the recycler.

Craigslist is still a thing?

How many do you want? Singles or doubles?
I realize I am tooting my own horn, but if you are looking for scuba tanks, shoot me a message or call.
I think I have a couple sets of double 95s and a couple of singles for sale.

I got 3 of mine from Kijiji--Canada's version of Craig's List I think. The seller was local, so I guess that's how it works.

Yes, but if it works out with @Tracy , that's a more reliable move.

I managed to get a set locally. Not long after posting this. Persistence seems to be the answer here. Tracy has been super helpful though. Thanks all!

FB marketplace is good , search to see if there is a FB group in your area that only sells scuba gear. Also OfferUp.

Just say no to Craigslist unless you want crap from the 80s and 90s and aluminum tanks in the bad alloy no one will fill these days.

Around here it is no problem getting 6351 tanks inspected and filled. The only reason I don't adopt them and use them is the buoyency.
