I can get three shipped for $65. So only ~$22 each. Heck I will even soak them in oxyclean, rinse well and starsan them for ya
If anyone wants one let me know I will likely buy 3 this week, if not I'll put one, maybe 2 on CL to recoop more money.

This looks interesting Chris.
Any idea how it could be moved when it has beer in it? Would a two wheel utility truck work?
This would be good for fermenting 10 gallon batches and then finishing in two 5-gallon carboys; but 10 gallons is pretty heavy.

I brew in my garage and ferment and have my yeast/stirplate in my basement. My plan would be to transport the wort in 2 6 gallon buckets (with lids of course), then dump into this larger vessel. I would also have this set up on an old desk so it would never have to move. Add a valve above the trub line and no more siphoning into kegs either.

So...you will have the 14 gallon fermenter elevated; it is kept stationary throughout the fermentation process; and then you can gravity feed the beer into another vessel(s) for carbonation. Cool!

That's the plan anyway. No way I am not moving around 10 gallons of fluid
