CL, auctions, etc. He doesn't find it that cheap all the time, but when he does, he buys it. He sells for $20-$30 a can. He has over 100 cans in his garage, waiting for the weather to warm up to start selling.

A friend of mine wants to buy 2 cans from me; I have no idea what would be a fair price to quote him.
From what I saw, $35. bucks a can. Sure glad I use the other stuff.

Prices are WAY down from what they were the first few years after production ended. Now enough cars that used R-12 have been crushed that demand is down. Don't know enough to say if the bottom has been reached yet...

The average Craigslist price around here is $25 for a 12-ounce can and $30 for a 14-ounce can. Partially depleated 30-pounders are the best deal, one example is $300 for 28 pounds.

Since freeze 12 came out and works well the R12 stuff has just about died. Freeze 12 is a direct drop in for the r12 and is cheap.

I have used freeze 12 in a few trucks, one was added to R12 and the other was a complete system fill.
Both worked great, and much colder air than a retrofit r134 system.
Around here the r12 is selling for $20-$30 a can.
Be wary of stings though. They were doing busts for uncertified buyers from craigslist r12 sales around here a while back.
You are supposed to be certified, and have a permit to buy r12. I got mine years ago, its a simple on line course.
