Yup. 60 bucks a pound at my local A/C fixit shop. But they installed it under warranty. So when it all went pssssssst the other day, they fixed the problem and replaced it free! :cheers:
For once, it paid to have a pro do the work :smash:

How about a 30lb can for $20/lb? Check out this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eb...467314&r=0&t=0
Less than a day left on the auction so may not go too much higher.

a friend bought 4000 cans at 99 cents each and sold them all at 15.00 each you do the math!!! R-414B can be used without changing any thing and you only need 90% of the R-12 capacity. :D :chevy

Re: R=12 Prices? (rdrman)
I do a lot of this commercially (licensed and everything!), and I only use R-12 when the customer insists. I get it for around $20.00/lb., but I don't use it much. I stay away from the blends because they tend to use butane/propane in some proportion. It's a liability issue for me (think car crash and fire,lawyers, court, etc...), so I exclusively convert to R-134A. It is also flammable, but only when compressed, while the others continue to be so after they vent. On the older cars I change compressors and dryer/accumulators, but I find that the hoses, even if they're not "barrier" hose (with a nylon liner), are so saturated with oil that they work fine. You can buy kits that include all the right O-rings, seals and oil at most parts stores to convert.
