Anyone ever bought from here before? $70 with free shipping seems too good to be true. Doesn’t say what they held which makes me suspicious…

Any one have a good source for these in central MA area?
That's half the going rate here in the Hudson Valley, NY (for used IBCs). No one delivers these things for free either, unless maybe you are buying a truckload. Says drinking water too, and looks brand new. They are rarely cleaned, so the buyer has that job to do too, provided they held a product that can be cleaned out with no aftereffects (vegetable oil, for example). If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.
I've heard rumors there is a place in central CT which is about 1.5 hours from me that has usable ones for around $125. Food grade that were used to hold apple juice concentrate or similar. By the time I add the $50 bucks for gas, it's still considerably cheaper than the cost of a new one though! But, I'd also rather pay the extra to get one I trust. Was hoping someone one here had some experience with the one I linked, either good or bad before I made the drive to CT. Or better yet, knew of a supplier in MA.Quote:

I've seen some on craigslist in MA that are food grade for 125 used.
I'm in western, MA...seems like there are about 2 dozen on FB Marketplace at any given time for sale. I would think you could easily find something within an hour or so from you.
Looked at this site, they also have a $300 tool set for $65, free shipping. If it seems too good to be true, it's a scam. I think it is very suspicious.
That's how I found mine. Price from $125-$140 as is, meaning you clean 'em. I guy I found supplies many local maple producers and only carries totes that can be cleaned. They are out there. Check with your fellow local producers or CL, etc.Quote:

That's got scam written all over it.
The last time I bought a tote was from:
IBC Totes, Barrels, and More
440 Chestnut Street

I don't remember what I paid, but it was food grade and rinsed. I had to give them a good cleaning but it wasn't terrible.
