Just happed to have my Invoice in front of me.
282 CF bottle size

100% CO2 - $40
Argon/CO2 75/25 - $71
100% Argon - $65
100% Oxygen - $31.90

147 CF Acetylene - $66

 

thats dirt cheap. 125cft c25 was $94 about 2mon ago at norco. im gonna check around at other local shops for lower price. do you get some kind of special discount for buying high volume or something ? the prices you posted seem impossible to believe

 

I just got a 55-60CF tank refill (owner bottle exchange) at Vern Lewis in Arizona for $38.

 

When I checked with AirGas, and ARC-3 Gasses a couple mmonths ago, to get an idea of what my first bottles of 75/25 and 100% Argon, they said in the $360 range. Of course that includes my first bottles to open an account, then around $60-$65 for refilling [exchange]. I did notice while on Primewelds website a couple days ago that a filled bottle can be delivered for $249.00 for 75/25. They say it is for a fully DOT approved bottle, with all the correct markings and a 10 year date stamp on the bottle, supposed to be refillable anywhere. Link below.

You're in Canada bud.... just bend over and drool over the American prices...

 

Oscar made a survey, and the "sticky" is on top of the "mig tig stick, oxy fuel forum"
I'm not sure if it accepts Canadian addresses/dollars yet, but if you click on responses you can see the prices, and locations.
