I have a 200 oxy, had a 50 mix but now a 125, and a 125 acetylene

today I got my 125 acetylene, and traded my 50 mix for a 125 for 80 bucks

what do you guys pay?, I'm told I'm getting hooked up, just want to see what everyone else pays

I don't know if I remember correctly. 140cu/ft O2 was around 13 bucks last time I filled it, and 123 maybe 113 Acetylene was either 23 or 32 bucks. Think it was 32.

I ain't diggin' out the receipts, y'all haven't seen my house:laugh::laugh::laugh:

381cuft C-85 - $51.44

Their tank lease is $75/year per cylinder.

That doesn't sound bad Duane. I think Tractapac posted some really high prices in New Zealand. (Might have included the flip flop tax:D)

thats kind closer to what the prices are at the lws in my area, compared to what the rest of you guys are paying I guess I'm not getting any special deal if not getting ripped off all together, I own my cylinders though, I wonder if that has anything to do with it?
I took my 125 acetylene, and my 50 of 75/25, I was just going to trade the acetylene in for a full..... 45 bucks, then I asked how much it would be to upgrade my 50 of mix to a 125 he told me 80 out the door so I did it is the 35 bucks to up the mix for a half empty 50 to a full 125 worth it? I guess 45 for the acetylene isn't anything great

$12.50 to swap my 125 cuft argon bottle. I don't remember what oxy and acet were last time as I haven't gotten them filled in a while.
