15 gallon sankey keg fs

I was originally going to build a 2 vessel system but not anymore. Therefore I have a keg to sell.

I wonder what it would be worth with a weldless bulkhead and 1/2" ball valve installed.

Not sure what to suggest on price, but if you're planning on installing a bulkhead and valve I'd take it off your hands. Unless you need to get it out of your house right away since I'd not likely be able to get down your way to pick up until after the holidays.

I'm trying to scrape together some extra money for xmas, so trying to get rid of it before then. Re the bulkhead and stuff, parts cost me about $35 and I'd need to order replacements, plus cutting the top, etc. I was thinking around $100 if I went that route.

I have two of the same sanke kegs and converted to a kettle.

I was able to find Stainless ball valves for $15 and fittings for 2-3$ in burnside and a thermometer for $35 as well.
I just borrowed an angle grinder to take the top off and smooth it out.

Was able to find a friend to weld the fittings for free.

Damn, my last ball valve cost close to $20 plus about $15 for the bulkhead, plus tax... mail order.
