Pottsie, what's the max price we should bid on it?

If you get it I can make the lid for free.

I personally dread ebay, this is where its easily an awesome price today and 5 minutes before it closes the five people bidding get in a bid war and it goes for 500. If you bid on it, I hope you determine a reasonable price and stick with it. We’ll do fine with or without it.

We have to have a taprail. If we make one, it will cost us some coin to build, along with time. If we could get this for under $300, we are probably getting a good deal.

Well, a brand spanking new one I could go pick up in my car in town, 12 tap stainless with all parts, hoses, faucets, etc. is about 700. I really haven’t spent time shopping around for a pass through tower, maybe some others have, which would be a good time to chime in. I just think ebay is good for the hard to find, but not for the general pricing. Although with that said, we could get lucky. This is one of those items we could probably find a real nice one (complete) for a nice price if we had TIME.

Wish we knew somebody that knew somebody with a one of these in a garage of sorts looking to unload it. J

Byo had a cool tap tower in their issue about building a club tap box. They made a really nice wooden box mounted on top of a tower tube made with aluminum flashing that lookes like stainless. Even had insulated beer lines inside. Very cool looking and a cost saving alternative. Was in the last few years, but can't remember the exact issue.

Is there a bid in on this?

Post by **JimPotts** » Mon Mar 28, 2011 12:10 pm

There will be. I generally wait to the last minute. It discourages people re-bidding. I'm watching it like a hawk. -Jim

Agreed, sweet deal. We can replace any broken taps and Mr. Burns said he can handle the lid. I see it has a nitro tap, cool!
