linotype and soft lead pricing

[Rich22]

So I found someone with a good bit of lino (raw) and a small amount of soft lead from roof work. What would be the price you would pay for unsmelted or smelted lino and the same with the soft lead. I can get a decent amount but ot seems expensive but may be negotiable. I'm going to get a small bit for my use anyways but looking at a resale opportunity. Info would be appreciated.

Thank you

$1.50 or so for the lino, 75 cents for the soft lead

I just paid $1.75 for federated metals ingots of certified Linotype. Scrap soft lead is between $0.35-$0.75. Guys here are selling soft lead ingots for about $1lb.

Roofing lead around here goes for about 50 cents a pound since it is dirty. This week I just scored 57 pounds of isotope lead which is very pure and clean at 70 cents per pound.

I bought some linotype a couple months ago from a local source. It was $1.50 a pound, I wish I bought more. In California lead based materials especially lead wheel weights are becoming difficult to find.
