I have had 2 cans of Igloo brand Dupon Freon 12 for years, so long I have no idea when I had purchased them. I also have the correct hose for the cans also. This must be the same stuff that is often referred to as R12. The price sticker indicates I bought them on clearance for $.50 each and the original price was $1.97. I know nowdays a can of R134A retails for $14-$18 a can.
I asked a auto mechanical shop owner friend of mine what a can of the stuff is worth as maybe I should sell it. He said put it on ebay and ask $50/can. I have done some internet searching and find the prices asking are $20-$30 a can, but there's plenty of warnings about it being against the law to sell R12 and just as many people's suggestions about how to get around the supposed illegality of selling it.
I thought, well 2 cans of R12 on craigslist, what can that hurt, but saw somewhere the threat of 3 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. What do you folks think or know about this? Pic below is of the two cans and hose.
