Lead find!!!

[rockrat]

At the local gun show and should be able to pick up about 300lbs of pure lead for $0.30/pound. Had some tin at $10 pound, but sold by the time I made it back to talk about the lead. Had to take all he had that was his Dads to get that price, otherwise $0.50/lb. Had a Saeco hardness tester that I let slip by as got to talking about the lead and walked away--probably could have picked up for $50. I should be set now unless I really get into the BPCR!

You did great!

The tin was a little high anyway.

...............Good buy, but trust me 300 lbs is only a start

Last order, just the other day, with Art Green was for 40 boxes of alloy, 65 pounds per box, to be delivered one a month. 10 boxes of lead. 30 boxes of linotype. I think that he has several tons of linotype in stock. Don't know how much lead he has. 310-274-1283.

Klw, What's Art's asking price?

Klw, What's Art's asking price?

I'm not sure that there is one price for all. I know that he use to give volumn discounts. And, thought I don't know it to be true, I suspect that having been a long term customer probably doesn't hurt either.

The last linotype order he sold me was just under 70 cents per pound delivered. I got a lead shipment a week or so ago but he hasn't billed me for that yet so I'm not sure.

But his prices are usually very good and his metal is EXCELLENT!
