I actually called my local uni pub today. Told them my situation and the guy was nice enough to just give me one of their kegs :) Maybe you can try that?

They pop up on Gumtree quite often too but looking at Keg Kings prices the other day, I think they're a very good deal

Give a small local scrap metal yard. Mine always a few hanging around. Good luck.

If you can get friendly with someone in a pub or even freight companies that move empty ones, it seems there is a "acceptable loss rate" of these kegs so one or two going missing goes virtually unnoticed by the big boys that own them :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Hi Blue
I was just in my LHBS today getting supplies for a batch of draught. Thought fuck it, can't hurt to ask if he knows of anyone who could supply me a couple 50l kegs. He didn't know anyone but he had one out the back he didn't need anymore. He was happy to let it go free of charge so i was bloody stoked and it's in much better nick than the one i picked up off gumtree the other day for $30.
Just ask everyone you run into. If they don't have one, chances are they'll know someone that does.
Good luck

Bit the bullet and bought a keg king one. $55 plus delivery
Checked a couple of scrap places on weekend for copper as well -No luck.
