Definitely a good price. I have had 6-7 cans of R-12 off ebay shipped up here a few times & with shipping it was always closer to $50 I always had to sign a form saying it would only be installed by a Certified Tech & with a creative label from the seller on contents I never had an issue getting thru Customs.  :player:
