Looking for a 20lb CO2 tank.

I'm looking to do some type of trade or buy a 20lb CO2 tank. Does anyone know the best deals or have one sitting around to get rid of? My tank eats up a 10lb CO2 tank in about 4 months and no one here does exchanges so I have to fill it in Orlando. My co2 tank is very nice looking and is the original one I bought. I wanted it to be in show condition but it's too much of a pain to refill. So if anyone wants to get a bit smaller of a tank or sell a bigger one, please let me know. I'll post a picture if someone is interested.

Thanks.

If you find a good price on new 20 lb tanks, let me know. I need a 20 also.

I have a 20lb tank I can part with, but it's up in Gainesville. Anyone come up here for Gator games?

Hey I found a 02 (oxygen) tank on craigs list for sale for $15 with all types of stuff like guages wheel stand tubings etc... I called the gas company for the co2 who said they can't use the 02 tank for Co2 but would gladly trade it in for no cost and free CO2 fill up!

Check there.

I rather not buy new because all the places aroudn me only swap out. I'm too picky to swap out a brand new nice looking tank. that's the issue with my 10lb. It looks brand new and no one here will swap it. Plus I'd hate to.

I'm about to buy one so just checking to see if anyone has one for sale first. It seems the gas places are twice as expensive as the brand new ones.

Let me look when I get home, I don't know if they are 20, 30, or 40lb tanks but I have a few used ones.

No problem. I found a guy in Apopka that sells them for 50 bucks. Going to give him a call and see what he has.

Check with Holox or Linde gas companys or any welding supply company. They usually have good prices on gas bottles. I have a corporate account, so maybe it's just that my prices are good. I could probably get a really good deal on some used CO2 bottles (filled) but my rep is out on vacation until next week. I don't think I have anything laying around that's under 100lbs...

Most I've talked to want over 200 dollars. I found a place who will sell them for 50 dollars. If anyone is interested, I'll post their info. They are in Apopka.

200 bucks?! For CO2? holy cow man.....you better get a kiss first! I got a 10 lb oxygen tank and a 10lb acetylene tank full for 40$ tuesday. I was thinking a 20lb bottle of CO2 should be about $30-$40. Or does that 200 bucks include hose and gauges? Or maybe my rep is doing some shady stuff? Of course, I just get a tank off the truck...they aren't usually new.
