I ordered 24 kegs for myself and some mates from this bloke ...they came in boxes of 4, near perfect "used" condition, only 3 hadn't remained pressurised (new o-rings supplied).
The only downside was the nervous wait to see if they'd show up!!! :unsure:
They did after 10 weeks using surface mail (cheapest).
If you can get a few blokes interested, its the way to go

Here's the URL: click here...
The gasket rebuild kit is US$2.95 plus postage.
If you don't feel like reconditioning the kegs, a bundle of 4 Reconditioned Kegs is US$135 plus postage. At 70 cents to the greenback, that's $48.21 Aussie per keg, plus postage.
Also on this URL they are selling brand new 5 Gal Cornys for US$99.95 plus postage and new 3 Gal Cornys for US$74.95 plus postage.
Oh the choices.. the choices B)

Would it be better to get rebult kegs or leave it and get the ones not rebuilt for beginners?
I like the idea of the 3 gallon kegs, with a party keg tap and maybe a
Beer Keg CO2 Charger with Ball Lock Disconnect like on ebay at the moment.... anyone had any experience with the party keg taps and co2 chargers?
Thanx

Sluggerdog,
Rebuilding kegs is a piece of piss...I would recommend it to anyone, especially new keggers who want to get to know their equipment. Brewers Discount in the US sells 5 Gallon un-reconditioned kegs for US$16 plus postage (US$42.50 for 2 x 5 Gal kegs and US$47.60 for 3 x 3Gal cornys).
They also sell a Gasket Set for US$2.50, Corny plugs for US$7.50 a pair and poppets for US$2. O ring packs are US$2.50 and new relief valves cost US$6.50. They've got all the bits you need to make an old keg new! B)
If you want to get them to rebuild the 5 Gal kegs, they cost US$24.50 each plus postage.
Their website is here...

I think they are about 650mm high. But don't quote me on that, i'm sure someone else who has a keg can tell you.

The rebuilt kegs from Brewers Discount aren't actually rebuilt. They just provide the kit will all the gaskets and 2 new poppets. You still need to pull it apart and install all the new bits and pieces.
If you bought the $16 keg you would need to buy a gasket kit $2.50 and 2 poppets $4. This way is $2 cheaper.
The difference is the rebuilt kegs get a more thorough going over, have beer and gas posts in excellent condition and the kegs themselves are the cream of their crop.
I've bought both the $16 and $24.50 kegs. The $24.50 kegs were definitely in better condition, but this was mainly aesthetics.
Your choice, but for the extra US$2 I went for the rebuilt kegs for my set-up.

Some people have ordered 5 Gal kegs from this mob for US$13!!
http://www.homebrewing.org/item2.htm
I've emailed them to see how much 4 shipped to Aust will cost...
Hey MAH - Thanks for the good oil on Brewers Discount - I like their $24.50 plus postage reconditioned kegs deal but if I can get them from the above outfit for $13 plus postage and refit them myself, it might be just as good a deal...Will see.
Perhaps I'll buy the kegs from homebrewing.org and get the rebuild gear from Brewers Discount!! :lol:
Did they charge you US$42.50 postage per pair of kegs, MAH?
Cheers,
