Posted an ad on Craigslist to buy wheel weights. Got contacted by a guy who used to do fishing lures. I ended up with 125 lbs of WW muffins and 155 lbs of pure lead muffins (plus some additional dead soft pipe). I paid the guy $0.50/lb, so out the door at $140. I'm happy with it
Sounds like you did good, congrat's!

I did almost as well yesterday; I got a bucket with 110 lbs. of raw ww for $40. Gotta sort them but oh well.
If you want your children to follow in your footsteps, be careful where you walk.
Beware the man that only owns one gun; he probably knows how to use it.

I was always taught to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder to find any!
Μολὼν λαβέ; approximate Classical Greek pronunciation [molɔ̀ːn labé], Modern Greek [moˈlon laˈve]), meaning "Come and take them" is a classical expression of defiance reportedly by King Leonidas in response to the Persian army's demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons at the Battle of Thermopylae.
Speaking of good fortune...I know an old junk man that loves getting all of my steel clips when I smelt my WWs. A couple times a year, I give him approx. 500 pounds of steel (inlcuding the steel WWs). -- Yesterday, he stops by my house and drops off 150 pounds of lead scraps. Mostly old lead plumbing pipes! He knows the scrap yard owner, and got it for cheap...gave it to me for free. He figured it was a good way to pay me back!

Dang! I need to get better friends!
What goes around come's around! good for you.
