Unfortunately, I am going to have to sell the lead that I have aquired over the last few years. I would like to know what would be a fair price to ask for X-Ray sheeting lead from remodeling projects, some has sheet rock paper, some has construction adhesive ,and some is quite clean. This would be face to face in West Michigan.
1080# total in peices ranging from 7# to 52#.
Thanks,

West Michigan! Woohoo, great place to live (if you can't live up north).Originally Posted by Terrier
Yes, I am interested in a face to face buy. But I really don't know what to offer. Let's see what others think is fair.

I would expect the price to be in the range of $0.50-$1 per pound depending on how clean it is & if you find someone who is looking for lead of the same hardness that you have.

I paid 60˘ per lb to a local 'part time' metal scrapper for six 40lb soft lead bars that came
out of a giant drill press, used as counter weights I guess.
they each had a chain (think bicycle drive chain) that was molded into the end.

I pay up to $1.00 per pound for dead soft (pure) lead sheeting if it is super-clean ! MUCH less if glue/paper attached. I sort out any that still has even the slightest amount of sheetrock attached.
The gypsum is hydrated calcium sulfate which gets VERY exciting as the water volatizes in the pot !
