Just got this email this morning. The prices are good for today and tomorrow only. LINK. For anyone looking for a brand new, never-used keg, $69 seems pretty good. I think I have 10 kegs and I know none of them were NEW when I got them. Cheers.

I considered AIH's new 3-gallon ball locks before buying the used 3-gal pin locks+conversion kit.  I read some mixed reviews on the Chinese-made kegs that they're selling under their name.  A few comments about rust inside the kegs, a few comments on the metal being a lot thinner than the 'original' cornies.

 

I'm sure AIH would be reasonable about returns, but I didn't want to deal with that.  I know the used ones are going to be sound structurally, even if they aren't pretty, so I went with that option.

 

Still, $69 is quite a good deal for any kind of new stainless vessel.

I would agree but if it rusts or is cheaply-built, it may not be a good deal.
