Hey all, I'm looking to pick up a small 9L corny keg for parties and what not, I know MBW do a 10L for €79 but was hoping to pick up one a little cheaper than that
Any help is much appreciated!
They are like hens teeth and you will struggle to find any cheap ones :(

I got some from my beer and wine and live them. Super shiny and perfect to beer on the go. Little privy but a nice investment in my oppenion.
I found 2 dumped outside Heuston Station once when they were doing a rebuild but I stupidly asked could i take them. Manager said no and took them off the pile of rubble and such. Rule number 1 when spotted as dumped,don,t ask ;)
if you were feeling flush or going to posh parties ;D

I figure €68 for two delivered is a good price, maybe too good to be true :-\
Pin locks :(
I think there is a kit to convert, I don't like pin locks as lids have no vent to burp co2, there is a way around that just can't remember how.
yeah they are pin lock and all my stuff is ball lock :( , bit of a nuisance but I read that you can release pressure by pressing down on the post.
Might look at converting them to ball lock in the future
Here's a kit I was going to get before
Might help if I include the link.

How are you dispensing? Do you have separate gas/regulator?

Cheers Ed, the lid might be big help, but the cost of these kegs are ramping up with these little extras..think I'll go with a screw driver and press on the post for the time being.
