Argon bottles (found a supplier, need reality check)

Sep 23, 2005 6 Replies

Found a supplier on the following terms.



Lease a 140 cf gas bottle. Deposit $175. If/when I terminate the lease, I get $150 back, so they keep $25. No monthly fees. Every refill is $46. That's all pretty sensible, but I want to double check with the experts here.

Thats a pretty good deal I think.... I am paying in the neighbourhood of 10 dollars a month rent...no damage deposit though...........Jim

thanks... that's nice to know...

Refill seems a bit high..but pricing IS very regional.

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Sounds like a lifetime lease deal. None of the dealers around here will do that anymore so I'm not sure of the workings. If it is just a one time price then it's in line with what I've got.

For reference around here leases for the large bottles (300cu ft in this case) will cost you between $45 and $65 a year per bottle depending on company. Buying a 155cu ft bottle from the company I'm dealing with is $175 currently then you can swap with them for the cost of the contents from then on. A 80cu ft bottle is $125.

Contents on a 300 cu ft bottle should run around $45-65 depending (I actually get it lower than that but I'm a dealer). I just had a customers 80 cu ft bottle filled and it should retail about $24.

Contents cost lots more per cu ft for smaller bottles. In fact I can get a 225+ cu ft oxygen bottle filled for less than I can get a 20 cu ft filled.

Yipes. I think I paid $75 for a three year lease. No deposit.
