Last time I scraped some a couple of years ago I got about $0.90 a pound. Try calling any local scrap yards and see what they are offering.
Do not use GPal period
There are different grades of stainless steel the lower grades are magnetic because they have less chrome and nickle and more iron and are worth less. Test it with a magnet.
Guns are made with a lower grade of stainless, if you have any stainless guns test one with a magnet.

My Son gets a bunch of it at his job, it's legal cause they're just going to toss it anyway, can't remember the prices, but don't just call one place, call a few because they offer different prices on stainless. I guess that your going to have just the one item to offer, but if their are different grades then it's best to sort em out, that way you get all that's coming to you......steg
Sam,
The cylinders might be more interesting than the raw stainless value. Got any pictures or specifications (labels)?

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.
Bob,
Haven't received the pictures yet. They are screw on lids and Stainless. All I know so far.

I may be intrested in a few. Pm me a picture when/if you get them.
I got 75 cents a lb for high grade aerospace SS earlier this year.
I"d assume around .60-90/Lb

as noted there are several grades , some recyclers wont differentiate and only will pay for low grade , and like many i am also curious what they look like and sizes etc ( meaning even with the price of scrap u mite get a few more bucks if they can be re-used )
I'd be interested in the pics also.............................steg
post pics I may want a few

Sam,
Please phost photos here as several of us may be interested. For scrap purposes try to determine the alloy. There are many stainless steel alloys out there depending on their intended use. For example, cutlery stainless steels tend to have relatively higher carbon steel content. I use 300 and 400 series stainless steels in my business. 300 series tends to sell for more than 400 series and prices for the same item tend to vary widely as prices of non-ferrous metals are more volatile than that of ferrous metals. Typically, 304,316 and 316L are more expensive than say 410 or 416R. For what it's worth, most SS rifle barrels are made with Crucible Steel 416R.
Regards,
Tony
I too am interested, esp if they are water tight. Pics would be cool, and don't forget the lid please!

Support our troops...they are somebody's kids!
Like everyone else I am mildly interested and may ecome up to Wildly interested after seeing what the look like.
Many time scrap value is nowhere near the salvage value . . . "IF" . . . if one can find interested buyers.
