Fair price per pound for lead ingots??
Hi all.
Another new guy with a question that's probably been asked a thousand times but I went back a couple pages and didn't see any threads specifically asking about the price of lead.
Anyway, everyone I talk to says it's getting harder and harder to find lead wheel weights or other sources of lead so out of boredom tonight, I got on ebay and searched "Lead". Found tons of it for sale then got smart and used the search feature to narrow things down to sellers within 25 miles of me and still got a couple of hits.
There is a fella selling ingots of indoor range lead that he says was fluxed twice and is very clean. Of course the auctions are still in progress but it's looking like about a dollar a pound or a little less is the going rate.
Is that a fair price for this grade of lead? I emailed the seller asking if I could pick up in person and that I was interested in learning about casting but I probably won't hear back until tomorrow sometime.
Just thought I'd jump on here to get an idea before I buy.
Thanks
