M149A2 Water Buffalo

[otisroy]

How hard are the M149A2s to come by? And at what price? Looks like they're rare on GL. The other option might be to get an IBC or collapsible water tank from Northern and put it in the M101, but neither has the same aesthetic as the buffalo. My T/T has a 25 gallon tank. Not nearly enough for more than a couple days and definitely without showering.

Water buffalo's seem to be pricey whenever they are found for sale.
Average price seems to be ~$1K.

I bought one of the older models with an aluminum tank for about $400

I'm gonna keep my eye out for the buffalo, but I think I'm going to pick up an IBC. Then I can keep the IBC in the back of one of the trucks or in the M101. Anybody know where I can pick up a ~200 gallon clean IBC in the southwest for a reasonable price?

Thanks metaxaco. Those are a bit out of my price range so I'm gonna go with an IBC or poly tank until I come across the deal of the day.

Hey Chris,
We missed the one at Santa Fe. Going price off GL $400-600. Forgot to get on and bid again. Keep checking in NM and El Paso.
