Stopped in at a local auto salvage yard a couple of weeks ago and asked about WW's. Was told I could get them for 4 cents a pound. Naturally I said I would take everything they had. The owners Dad said it would take a couple of weeks for them to get them gathered.
Well, I went back yesterday and they hadn't had time to get them together. The owner told me I could go out and pull them myself. He also stated he could only give me 1 five gallon bucket full at that price.
His father hadn't kept up with the prices and they could get 25 cents a pound for them.
So I went out to get my bucket full and let me tell you, that is WAY too much like work!!
I busted my butt for almost two hours and only got 20 lbs.
I called it quits. Even if they had been free (which they almost were) it just wasn't worth it. This old dog is just to old and worn out to be moving tires and rims all day long.
I thought I had stumbled into a heck of a deal and it turned out to be a bust.
Oh well, I'll keep in touch with him. Maybe the going rate will come down and I can get some that are already pulled.
25 cents a pound is a little rich for my blood. If they drop to 20 cents I'll consider it.
I give my tire shop source a case of Bud Light for a bucket full. That averages out to 15 cents a pound.
