Hadn't considered trades at all, but it seems that the shipping costs and hassles would negate most of the benefits and I would want to know what I'm getting, don't want mystery ingots.
I've not bought tin. Been mixing alloy of range scrap and foundry type forever. I can go get tin at Roto Metals for under $17#. I was hoping someone here knew where to source tin, bar solder or rolls of solder for something less than Roto Metals.
