Swapping PET for Glass longnecks or fridgemate

Hi,
I have around 90(give or take a couple) PET bottles I am looking to offload. However I would like to swap them for some glass bottles. I can swap or sell but would prefer to swap for crown seal bottles.
I have 90 screw tops still in the packet for the PET bottles, all are clean and capped to keep dust out.
Would also take a keg if someone wants to swap.
I am also after a temperature controller for my fridge to start lager brewing and would be willing to swap the bottles for one of these eg.fridgemate
I live in werribee Victoria
Cheers
Reg

I just bought 4 kegs and am setting up a barfridge with a font and tap, what I would really like to do is swap them for a fridgemate.
Personal preference being glass over PET but each to their own.

I can't offer you any glass bottles, but I'm willing to offer you $40 for the PET Bottles. I live in Melbourne so I'd be able to pick them up.
(I've got 180 PET bottles and haven't had any trouble using them)

Mate if you give me $47.50 for them then we have a deal.
(the $47.50 covers the cost of my fridgemate)
Cheers

I'd be interested in buying 30 of the PET bottles. I'll be going passed Werribee late on Sunday morning on the way down to Geelong.
Sorry, I don't have anything to swap. If you're interested let me know.

I'm originally from WA, and I didn't realise Werribee could be so far away, so unless they're a way for one of you guys to get them near Kew, I just cant get them.
Really sorry about this guys...

I just bought a fridgemate as I thought that you were going to take them.
I can get them into southbank where I work, on Thursday and friday.
Let me know if this suits and we will swap phone numbers and meet up.
