I searched eBay and found skids of R-134a...no R-12. Anybody with a chiller that holds more than 300 lbs. of R-12 would be foolish not to convert to R-134a. I'm sure most have done so already. The largest quantity of R-12 I found on eBay was a 50# jug.
OK maybe not cheaper then r134a but cheaper then r12 from other sources, and there was several people selling skids of it.

Great. If you could email me at bshorofsky@gmail.com that would be great. We are happy to arrange shipping and will send over EPA card.
I have 3 30lb cylinders of virgin R12 I'll sell.
I believe Refron is big into buying refrigerants, try them as well? Oops, they were bought out by Airgas, try Airgas.
Good work KY!

Where are you located?

Call the large refrigerant recyclers like Hudson. Any refrigerant recovered from a decommissioned chiller has to be reclaimed by a licensed reclaimer. In other words, if a contractor recovers refrigerant from a chiller that refrigerant can only be used by the owner of the chiller from which it was recovered. But you already knew that.
Looking for R-12 from Chillers I am in search of a decent amount of R-12, preferably that has been reclaimed from a large scale Chiller that has been decommissioned. Anyone have any thoughts on how I should go about this search?
