today's score!

Got a call today from a new customer wanting to get rid of some refrigerant. Went over there and tested it, was all R-22. 450 pounds of it! I was in the process of working up a quote for him when he asked what this was going to cost him. COST HIM? I usually pay 2.00 a pound for it. Told him I would take it for free and he was so glad he gave me the 10 new tanks that it was in! So I saved 900 bucks in buying it and got 1300 bucks worth of new tanks to boot. Wish I could find more customers like that!

gotta love knowledge. Experience trumps everything in the scrap business.

Way to go! Sweet haul.

JACKPOT..congrats man..what a score

Great score Joe, can't beat free!

Hey Joe,
There's an ad in the South Jersey CL Wanted section for somebody that wants R-22 for $50 a cylinder........all I could do was laugh.

Wow. All I have to say.

Tater, used or reclaimed and re-packaged?

I pay 2.00 a pound for it used.

Joe, when you say "used" do you mean reclaimed from a non-burnout system? Last I dealt with buying/selling refrigerant was as a purchaing agent 15 years ago, we had to pay around $0.20 a pound to have it "taken" from us after we reclaimed from dead systems. I might be missing out on a good oppurtunity for myself. Thanks for any info.

DWJ, when I say used, I mean any refrigerant recovered from a system. Reclaimed refrigerant is a refrigerant that has been processed and tested to meet new refrigerant guidelines.
