    CFC-11 R-11 Canisters....Need Help!

    I have 20 or more canisters of R-11 and CFC-11 Refrigerant.....I have a company that will handle the logistics and buy these items at 6/lb for recovered material
    My problem is no HVAC certification
    I will split all profit on these or sell to an individual
    PM ME IF INTERESTED

    0.06 cents a pound? Isn't that rather cheap? I'm thinking I see from $1.50 to $3 lb on this stuff?

    Not to dump on Barren Realms but I thought others on the forum should know this and be aware when dealing with him.......These canisters were picked up around 6 months ago and still not processed........I understand that he had issues but I have been given nothing but excuses in this matter.....I only have around $20-$30 in these canisters and offered him just to pay me what I had in them but have been paid nothing....Take it for what it is worth but I would be cautious in dealing with this individual.......I hated to do this but after talking with some other members they felt the public had a right to know

    6 months is not an acceptable time-frame for dealing with a customer. Items should be processed and paid within 1 week after the buyer receiving them. The exception is refining and testing, id say 1 month max on those methods. Ive sent out catalytic converter samples and had the assay results in less than 3 days from receipt. very bad customer service there
    I buy and sell all types of scrap and escrap. I buy specialty and hard to sell escrap. I buy resale items. PM me or contact me at jghilino@hotmail.com
    I AM ACTIVELY BUYING ESCRAP OF ALL TYPES. BOARDS, RAM, CPUS AND MUCH MORE

    In his defense these items were to be prepped by him for shipment to a refinery.....1-2 months would have been ample time to do this in my opinion but oh well just glad I'm not out any more money than I am on these items.....The reason I had him pick them up is because he claimed to have the certifications needed to sell R-11..........OH well live and learn

    people that are slow to pay will always burn you in the end (from my experience). @ $6/lb on 20 canisters, how much did you really lose? i guess looking at it from the perception that you only paid $30 makes it easier to swallow.

    Yeah we were not sure of the yield on these items.....Some were so heavy it took both of us to lift them but some felt almost empty....Anyways this will be my last post on the subject and the admin can close this if they want
