R-12

That is a very good idea, only problem is I am about 2000 miles from the border.

It is illegal to import R-12 into Canada.

Get your 609 certification which is easy and can be done online and then you will be able to buy some off ebay.

Yep, to the Canadians, bringing in a can of R12 is akin to smuggling a Kilo of Cocaine.

R12

Is it legal for a private party to sell R12 cans that were pre-ban purchased in the US. I have 12 cans of DuPont R12 still in the box. I would like to sell them but don't want to break any laws.

There is not a ban on R12. You have to be licensed to purchace.

In that case I would like to sell my R12 to a "licensed to purchase" buyer. Please contact me by this forum private message system if you are interested.

i would think a private party could sell to a private party in this great country of ours...

i think the r-12 debate is overblown anyway.... i wonder how many of your neighbors pour oil down the drain or dump it in their back yard....

i don't want to get on a soap box about it, so i'll shut up for now..

jeez, i am starting to sound old.

To be legal the ebay sales only allowing selling to someone holding a 609. This may be violated on a regular basis for all I know, but it is the law.
