I'd be happy to find HB items on CL around here. It's rare anything pops up, let alone steals
While not a crazy good deal on the bottle alone, I got both a 5# CO2 bottle and the dual gauge regulator for $50.

I am not in need of anything, but pounce on deal on CL if they are a steal and I can resell or use. I am in a decent sized club and I think the more I get involved the more I will share/sell/barter off items for members of the club.Post a wanted ad for what you are looking for..Many homebrewers have extra gear laying around, but never take the time to post it for sale on CL. I have found several good deals this way. Good luck!
6 15-gal demijohns, 4 carboys, floor corker, propane burner and small tank (full), bags of corks and caps, 18 boxes of wine and beer bottles, 7 gallon plastic conical V vessel, bottle drying rack, 2 1-liter flasks, various other items. All for $200. The demijohns alone were worth far more than that.

Just use the sanke kegs. Just as easy as corney but easier to findI just scored this older but still fantastic shape kegerator for $75. It has a variable flow tap on it, came with a full 5lb CO2 cylinder, and the Sanke connections and a cleaning kit. Now I need to find a couple ball lock kegs locally for a decent price and I'll be in business. The best CL find I found but missed out on was a nearly new 7gal SSBrewtech BME conical for $150 but it was in downtown Chicago and I couldn't get there until later in the day.
How are sankes just as easy as cornies? Without the proper equipment (expensive) they are a PITA to clean...Just use the sanke kegs. Just as easy as corney but easier to find
You dont need special equipment to clean sankes. Just pull the spear out and clean like anything else. You can even buy snap rings to replace the spiral retainer ring it came with for pretty cheap to make it even easier the second time. I moved to corny kegs though because you cant easily carb a sanke without a tap on the liquid side.How are sankes just as easy as cornies?

It seems Facebook Marketplace has become the new Craigslist. My best find was a converted mini fridge with a two tap Tower, perlick faucets, a 10 lb and a 40 lb CO2 tank, plus 4 ball lock kegs all for $300. I also picked up a nice blichmann burner with the extension legs for 50 bucks.

These are what I used and while it can take a little bit of fiddling to work the coupler past the ears the first few times they work great.Please do elaborate...
