$269 Conical too good to be true???

[breez7]

I was reading the most recent BYO and on page 43 there is an add for conical fermenters from Homebrew House Discount but it seems kinda sketchy, no website or anything. Just send your money and pray?

Has anyone gotten one of these? Go for it or too good to be true???

can't find that price on a conical on their website.

What website? There is not website listed in the add, just a mailing and an email address. I think he used to sell on ebay.

This might be their website --> http://www.homebrewhousediscount.com

But I can't find any contact info on there. No address, no phone number, etc. A WhoIs lookup said they might be based out of Abington, PA.

Not sure of how large of a conical you want but here is a place that is legit and they have conicals for as little as $189 http://www.homebrewing.org/Mini-Brew-Conicals_c_189.html

I was wondering the same thing. Great price buy can I trust it? Saw it in the magazine and went straight to here to finds answers. So if any one can help please do.

I haven't purchased (yet), but someone recommended this. A good price with the stand.

It's this guy:

He has none listed on there now.

That is the guy. My brother in-law purchased one from him through ebay about a year ago. Its really nice and well made. I don't like the idea of just sending a check to an address and hoping for the best though. At least with ebay if you get ripped off there is a course of action you can take. I also find it odd that he has an add in BYO but none for sale on ebay. If there were some on ebay I would be bidding away.

I live close to him, I was thinking about going to see him. Any ideas on him dimensions and size?

There is a picture of it on my blog. The link is in my profile. I know everyone here knows what it looks like but the pics on my blog should give a better sense of scale.
