[A/S] Value of 30 pound aluminum propane tanks

["schlumeterman" <wellsite@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have replaced my original 1971 aluminum propane tanks with 40 pound 
1972 aluminum Worthington tanks (which I had polished).
I think that I am going to put the 30 pound tanks for sale but I am 
not sure how much to ask for them. I know that the 40 pound cost me a 
bunch to get recertified and polished and I think that new 30 pound 
tanks are expensive.
Can anyone help to tell me how much I could get for these and if 
selling them "online" is a good option. Or should I keep these as 
spares as they were the original tanks for my trailer. I had them 
recertified in 2001 at the same time as the 40 pound tanks but I did 
not get them polished.

Just a hint on this tank polishing...I had a propane company that 
handles and services forklift tanks polish my tanks. What they 
ussually do is wait until they have a bunch of forklift propane tanks 
ready to be polished and them send them all at the same time. I had 
my tanks sent out at the same time and they came back recertified and 
brightly polished. This was a very good option and I think that the 
polishing was only about $40.00 per tank. Maybe this seams expensive 
but it would have taken me many hours to polish them to the same look.

Best regards,
