Can refrigerants be resold?

Explanation:
The main idea is that recovered refrigerants are not something you can simply resell. Under EPA Type 2 handling rules, refrigerants must be recycled and reclaimed to meet established standards (AHRI 700) and then sold only through proper channels. Selling a used refrigerant directly risks contamination, improper handling, and regulatory violations, so the general rule is that they cannot be resold in their recovered form. If reclamation is needed, the refrigerant must go to a certified reclaimer; only after proper reclamation would distribution occur through authorized, licensed channels.
