Scrap lead price

[mold maker]

Don't turn down any price you can afford. Of course, look for cheap, but any lead in your inventory will be cheap when ya can't get any.
Gold once traded for $17. /oz, and it was common coinage.

Still paying .60/lb for lead, ww doesnt matter what type of lead it is

My local 'small time' scraper guy, who does it part time, comes across some Lead and lead alloys once in a while. He likes to trade instead of sell...but values his stuff at about 60¢ per lb which is about double what he gets at a larger regional metal recycler.
Anyway, last time I got some, about 300 lbs of dimensional lead and 150 lbs of misc commercial bullets, fishing weights, Round balls, shot, and some metal rich dross (probably solder). I swapped some pistol ammo for the whole lot.

The scrap yards just do not want to mess with the general public buying lead. Liability may play a part ... or not. Definitely no law regarding the matter. I had the same story locally and when I called their main office, it was no problem to buy a galord box (about 2500 pounds) . I just told them that I used it to make custom alloys. One guy said, " We don't know that you would not make fishing weights with it" What a fruit cake!!
Anyway , long short... Its just a few simpletons blindly following the epa malarchy.

Here in NW Ohio the scrap yard sells lead at .24 cents a pound sounds like I'm getting a good deal around here

Around here in NM, the scrap yard sells anything that they have for usually about double what they're paying. A lot of times I can get a full 5 gal bucket of ww from a couple of tireshops directly for under $50.
