I remember when they had R12 on closeout at Nationwise Auto Parts (now advance auto parts) on closeout for 89 cents/lb. I bought 2 cases. By the time I finally ran out, R12 was over $90/lb. and you had to have a license to dispense it. (which I had at the time)

99% of that $90/lb price was all taxes. From what I understand now, it is over $100/lb even if you buy it in bulk.
