Re: Buying air tanks
A bank is those big tall cylinders the shop will fill your tank from.  Some shops keep a set for air and a set for nitrox at a premix (usually 32).

VIP is a visual inspection.  You should have gone over that in open water class.  Every tank should have a hydro test done with the year stamped into the cylinder every 5 years.  It should also have a visual inspection of the inside every year.  There should be a sticker with the month and year of the visual inspection on it.

When I bought my steel tanks, they were out of hydro.  I agreed to pay the hydro and once they came back ok, then pay for them.  That worked for both me and the seller.
