I just bought R12 a few months ago for $14.06 per pound delivered to my door. That guy was preying on the unsuspecting people who still think that the stuff is expensive.
Do not mix Freeze 12 and R12. It will make you cool but will not circulate the lubricant properly resulting in a destroyed compressor. Once the compressor fails then you will have to flush the entire system ENTIRELY to get out the debris from the destroyed compressor so that it will not destroy the next compressor.
There is no quick fix folks. All you do, is find the leak or other bad component, repair it, evacuate and recharge with the correct refrigerant. Even if you saved $50 on refrigerant by converting or using a junk refrigerant, that is a drop in the bucket compared to the hidden, long term cost.
Best of luck,
