American cornie prices

[IPA]

How come in the States you can still buy used cornies for £43 and top of the range new Italian ones for £76 with shipping to anywhere in America for £4. 50

Probably for the same reason you can easily find beer engines all of the place in the UK and I have to pay £250 for a new one or look on ebay UK for used ones. There are just more of them around and as soon as you ship over the pond, the prices skyrocket. :cry:

You can still get reconditioned cornelius kegs for £67 from hop and grape.

I understand that but these new ones come from Italy which is much nearer to the UK than the States

You can get them from Germany for similar prices.. try candirect

55 Euros for used, 92 Euros for new ( although the shipping is more )

From the UK new ones are nearly £100 each
