r-12 Vendors?
Looking for a good deal on some r-12.
The online vendors that rank high in my search engine appear to be charging above market prices, based upon some market surveys I was reading. A couple of local vendors were even worse. If anyone has located a good deal from a mailorder/online vendor, or perhaps a 'bricks and mortar' vendor in the greater Boston area, do let me know. Thanks.

ebay is probably as good as any. You will need a 609 regardless of your source.
Good luck,

I quickly checked the recently completed auctions on Ebay and prices ranged from $415 - $600 for 30lb containers of R-12. Some of these include shipping, some will require an additional $50 S&H.
I like to scan http://www.refrigerantsales.com for quick pricing checks. Last I looked, they were offering R-12 at $655, shipping included. Now you know why everyone is charging with hydrocarbons  No, I'm just kidding, I don't want to start that discussion again, I didn't even bring it up, let's not talk about it.....- JimY

Jim,
I think he is looking for a smaller quantity. I've seen cans go for as low as $15 each on ebay. I can go to NAPA locally and buy cans for $29. This is with 609 of course. Have a great day,

609 is a certification issued after a test (easy). It is needed for buying certain EPA listed refrigerants. See here for test: http://www.epatest.com/

For larger quantities I believe that recycled R-12 is sold as well. I was told this can be inferior to the new stuff.
