OK spoke with the guy, he says he wants $0.35/Lbs. I was hoping he'd go for .25 but do you guys think its still worth it? I told him I want to cull only the lead WW and don't want the others ones...

I just moved to Texas so I don't know the lead laws here if its banned or not like other states.

So I should separate the long skinny pieces and consider it pure and the rest linotype? Do you think the weird looking ingots are the plus metal or just regular linotype.

I just called the local scrap yard and their paying $0.25/Lb. So I'll offer him similar. Hopefully we can work out a deal. 1800 Lbs is alot more than I thought.

I think I may have scored over 300# of linotype for $0.90/Lbs. Does this look like a good deal? Some of the ingots still have the foundry name stamped on them. It was explained the stamped ingots...

I'm a long time lurker but its too bad, his dies seem promising at a nice price. I don't think Colt can recover from this reputation killing move unless he post a pic of himself in the hospital with...

The price from DanR doubled...darn. For two hundred more I could go with BT Sniper's but for a few hundred more above BT, I could go with Corbin's kit. Man... what to do.

Wow, I was about to pull the trigger with this guy too. Glad I didn't buy from him. Anyone know if DanR or BT Sniper still producing a .224 swage set?
