I am wanting a smaller SCBA tank than my 60 minute / 88 cubic foot Scott SCBA to grab when I am shooting lower volume PCP guns. Not interested in anything costing over $70 shipped which seems to be the lowest price right now on eBay. If anyone knows of a source selling good condition 30 minute SCBA tanks with working valves on them for less than $70 including shipping, please share the link.
Thanks!

Edit: At the $70 price point, a US made SCBA tank that retails for over $1000 isn't going to have current DOT date on it. I fill them myself with no plans to ever pay to fill one. As long as the valve works and the inside of the tank is pristine, I am happy and set for at least another 15 years of service after the 15 year DOT date expiration.
If buying on eBay, talk to the seller and let them know you will be inspecting the inside and sending it back as defective for a full refund if it is corroded inside, before you buy one. You can also tell them how to inspect it themselves if they are willing to save the trouble for both of you. If they won't agree to that, take a pass.
Thanks!
