Hey guys,looking to buy 10 IBC's today,

Was wondering what the going rate was,i think the cheapest i have sourced is $135,so $1350 for 10

They had apple cider in them,.

just like to know whats too much,and whats cheap?

In victoria ,

You could try your local Landmark, Elders etc and see if they have any damaged Ibcs that they cant send back. I got two for free doing that

Got 2 x $80 and 2xFree

Not too bad if they are in really good condition, though generally you should be able to get them a bit cheaper for bulk..

Yep......but what was in them? all mine here have Trifluralin, powermax or Glyph in them

Just bought 2 ibc's that had apple cider in them.

$100 each,and the bloke saving 2 per fortnight for me.

so all good.

Nice work Davo, was that cider he has imported? I have a mate who wanted to make cider and was thinking about using an IBC..

I pay 50$ us for mine. They are used once so basically new and the had afoodgrade wax in them
That hot water takes right out.

Good buy FlDave

$0

I got mine for free by calling around to commercial bakeries until I found one that had spares they were happy to give me. In fact it was slightly more complicated than that in that one bakery said "No, we don't have any, but I know who does - let me contact them for you and I'll call you back."

I honestly never expected to hear from them again, but sure enough I got a call a few days later and that other company came through for me. I'm not sure which factor was most important, but I think the three deciding issues were:
1) I happily told them why I wanted the IBCs, and that I wasn't reselling them,
2) I got very lucky and encountered some very friendly contacts (a possible benefit of being in Texas), and
3) they aren't on a rail spur and thus are limited to either totes or tanker trucks.

Try trucking companies. Some of the newest trucks run a urea injection system into their exhaust, something to do with complying to the euro 4 emition requirements. A mate of mine manages a workshop and has trouble getting rid of them quick enough to stop the yard filling up. Worth a try.

For IBC's I found a supplier that has them at a good price..

they are food grade and less than $100..

$100 Brisbane northside, just called the bloke today. Selling as drinking water grade as they only had salt in them (not sure on the details)
Can provide details if anyone is interested

i kept an eye out for months, found them for $40 on craigslist, used once, about an hour away from my house.. two weeks later i found them for $50 less than 5 miles from my house...had already rented a truck to move the further away totes..
oh, and i rented a truck from home depot... $19 for the first 75 minutes, 10 bucks an hour over that..
