Hey,
The used keg market is drying up. I finally gave up looking and ordered some new kegs. Now I am having nightmares about loosing my new $100+ kegs. I have lost some to a less-than-honest local distributor in the past. I didn't like it but I didn't go to war because I only paid $15 for 'em anyway, Those days are gone. Is anyone contemplating raising keg deposits? I think everyone in this area is waiting for someone else to pull the trigger first. Then you gotta ask, how high should it be? Maybe I should have an agreement on the invoice that says, If you loose my keg you pay $100. I do this with my dock sales. We secure it with a visa. Haven't lost a dock sale keg yet! That eliminates the "money down" deposit.
Anyone....Anyone?
What are you all doing?
