10,000 lbs of Lead Located

[TC66]

I have located 10,000 lbs of hard and soft lead. I can not buy it I don't have that kind of money right now. But I remember seeing a group in AZ buying 4000 lbs as a group. Is there any interest in doing something like this right now? The lead is located in NW Ohio. If there is some interest I can get you contact information.

More detail would be appreciatd, what form is it in and how much weight per piece thanks ;]

[TC66]

John said he may try to set up a group by on this. I have given him the contact information for this person. According to the seller he has hard and soft lead.

Interested.

[southpaw]

just to satisfy my curiosity what is the per pound price on this stuff?

[TC66]

The guy told me he wanted .50 per lbs. But it has to go as one lot. So $5000 for 10,000 lbs of lead.

[Willbird]

I'm in NW Ohio but I am WAY N and WAY W. I'd be willing to help out with a GB but personally I have no desire to purchase at .50 per lb, that is too high IMHO.

I'll take 2OO# @ .25 =), we all want some so jump back with some info so we can do some bizness

[DanOH]

Fity cent a LB is high even for linotype with that big an order.
I'd be in for a ton at .25/# ...(hafta sneak it past momma though...._)

[DJ303]

I would be interested in 400lb.@.25/lb.

[LoveMyJeep]

I would take 6000 @.25 per pound.

[ddeaton]

I am in OH and would take 1k myself. I can pick up also.

[Hiaboo]

.50 is way too much.. .30 or less.

But if it's all you can get and it sure is easy getting a huge lump at once than scrounging here and there though.

[NuJudge]

I'd go for 600 pounds at $0.50 a pound. I'd go more, but transport is an issue. I'm near Toledo.

At .50 a pound........ thats kind of high isn't?. The local price for lead is .22~.35 lb at the local scrap yard (when they have it in).

I'm West of T town about 20 mi. today's market is .23 for WW and .35 for good clean lead. I'd be interested in a Ton or maybe 2.

[wonderwolf]

I'm in NW Ohio, I would be interested in the soft lead depending on what form it came in? And if the price dropped from .50

[Cherokee]

TC66 - who is "John" Is anyone coordinating this buy ? Sounds overpriced in todays market but I would be interested in some, need more details.

[Willbird]

I just checked at the scrapyard today, they are paying $.15 for lead.

Bill

[Johnch]

OK I called today
He is a salvage yard looking for a steady buyer

$ .45 a lb for soft lead if we buy a bunch , $ .50 a lb if only a few ton , that is what he has a lot of
Mainly cable sheathing , some range salvage
Claims he can get $ .40 overseas

He said he he has some what he calls Hard lead and would let it go for $ .35 a lb

IMO he might be talked a little lower

But he is close to 2 hours from me in Mansfield in my pickup truck and hauling a trailer would be longer
I can't haul a load and make it worth it

I will pass the info along to anyone interested that is closer
I forgot to ask how much hard lead he had and what it was

John

[TC66]

OK first off I would like to thank John for making the call and talking to Bob Steven at the scrap yard. But it appears it is too far for John to haul that much. He posted the prices in the thread. DO we have anyone who would be able to handle a group buy and able to get that much lead? I am in SW Ohio so a good 3.5 to 4 hours for me plus no cabability to handle that much lead. Just a freak accident how I found someone with that much lead. I was looking for maybe 200 or 300 lbs. He offered 10,000. Shocked the hell out of me. But thought of you guys here at cast boolits and was sure someone could handle this. I will even offer my services to help load and unload if we can get this taken care of.

If you want to head this up contact me and I will give you Bob's number.

Thanks
Tom

What alloy is the hard lead, the soft lead, where did it come from etc etc?

[Johnch]

$ .45 a lb for soft lead if we buy a bunch , $ .50 a lb if only a few ton , that is what he has a lot of
Mainly cable sheathing , some range salvage


I forgot to ask what the "Hard" lead was

I'm possibly interested in a couple hundred pounds from the SE Michigan area.

[Bobby Ironsights]

That's an awful price for that kind of quantity, no wonder he wants to get it off his hands.

I'd take a ton @ .25-30 cents, depending on how we'd deal with shipping.
