I picked up a new(?) cylinder today. No collar stamping, 2015 on the end of
the numbers, indicating it is almost new. Labeled and all, with C-25. I
have seen these things rated at everything from 20 to 60 cubic feet. This
Google thing is getting frustrating, as you can specify search terms, and
get all sorts of things in results, not a lot of what you are looking for
included. The tank is about 24" to the top of the neck, and just over 6" in
diameter. What I see indicates it is a "C" tank. If it is, what's it
worth. Like I say, new. I bought it from the guy who bought it new, and he
says he gave $100 for it, but I find that a little low, as C-25 is expensive
by itself.
And I bought a keg dispenser with a tiny CO2 that is about 12" tall. The
guy at the welding store said he would give me $110 credit towards another
CO2 tank, which I thought very high. Maybe those little ones are in demand
among beer drinkers.
How big is the C-25 tank, how much it is worth? And why does the tiny CO2
tank cost so much?

Sounds like a 45 cuft tank.
60's are around 36" tall.
$80 - $100 seems fair for a new one.

steel one. Alot of guys like the AL CO2 tanks; lighter, eaiser to
carry and they do not rust in your beer fridge.

I got it from the guy who bought it new. It was full of C-25. He said he

paid $100, which seemed a little light to me. I paid $35. No collar stamp.
Owner cylinder. I have a 60, and now I have a backup.

said he'd give me $110 credit on it towards a 20. I need to research a
little more and see what a regular 20 CO2 goes for to see if he was jacking
up the price on both ends. I thought the little ones might be better for
taking to the park, etc.
