Title: Heineken portable bar.. Value please
Post by: SprocketFuel on December 12, 2016, 06:28:22 AM
Just wondering if anyone has an idea one the price of these
(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161212/275791c291f0f3ae43eb83ac1384177f.jpg)

I was offered one last night but they are asking for €350.  No kegs,  gas of the likes with it.
Is €350 too much?  It's out of my price range and needs at the moment but it's a friend selling it so would like to make him a honest offer or advise if it's over priced

It looks to be basically a tarted up fridge on wheels with a tap. IMHO €350 is way overpriced. You could do something similar yourself for well under €150. If you really want it I wouldn't pay over €200.

Yeah, I'm thinking 200-250 if it's in good condition, with the decals etc.
but unless it will fit cornies I wouldn't bother.

i'd buy these: http://www.adverts.ie/other-antiques-collectables/beer-taps/11897559
sell 1 for 30.

then mount on something like this:

and a few castors from B&Q

voila, a 2 tap version for less than 100

Commercially they are 800-1000
Depending on fittings and condition 350 is a good price.
If it's got that branding all over it he probably got it for free.
A brewery would snap by putting a second tap on it and using for events
Never gonna be as thermally efficient as a fridge, do you need something that's on wheels?

Nope,  I actually don't need this at all,  I have a fridge in the shed to set up a FC, kegging is on my list of things to sort but I'm in no hurry.  As said I was offered it so thought I'd check.

That'd be great for a bbq if you could throw another tap or two on it. 350 great? Maybe not.
