Does R-12 become contaminated and what would a good price be for say 20lbs? The reason i am posting this here is cause i post all here and prefer the DD over the OD.

it can be dryed and filtered if your in dought
most major A/C shops should have a machine

If it's reclaimed or recycled it could very well be contaminated.
If it's fresh never been used then it's more than likely still good.

If you're looking to buy a bottle there shouldn't be a problem with it. Around here (Washington DC/Maryland) that bottle would go for around $1200

If the bottle was good R-12, it is pressurized so water and rust can't get in. If moisture is mixed with R-12 it will destroy a system, the reason for the filter/dryer in the A/C system.
