    I have bought a lot of cylinders and sold a few. at one time you got a sort of title stating you owned the tanks. that was late 60's...

    now a days, there have been so many buyouts of LWS that the names mean very little, and aside from one LWS, pretty much I can get anything filled anywhere, or at least exchanged, if in date.

    so that has made it easier to sell tanks as people can get them filled.



    if they are out of date, they are usually not worth much (bought 2 5' tall c02 tanks full, but out of date for $5 ea once), but if you take them in and pay the re-inspect fee, they will well for a good price. *(except propane, have found they are not worth the cost because you just exchange old ones at the grocery store no questions asked...)

    if you just want to sell them as-is, pull the valves, and sell to an artist. they buy the tanks all the time to make those giant wind chimes and usually pay pretty decent.
