Lead Scrap For Sale

[leadman]

Found a site that is advertising scrap lead for a "fraction of market value".
No price listed but here is the link. www.nuclead.com

Go to : In Stock Lead Products on left side of the home page. Then about in the middle of the next page is scrap lead.

That is a very interesting site. Did you see that they have boolit alloys also?

Hmmz. If someone asks for a quote, find out how much they want for shotgun shot, and/or the 6or 7% antimony blends.

[a.squibload]

I didn't ask for a quote but packing and shipping charges would keep me
from making an individual order, probably just too expensive for me.
$1/minute packing charge minimum $10, and shipping UPS is cost + 30%.
Of course if the price per pound is really low it might be OK.
If ordering scrap there appears to be no selection for type of alloy.

From their site:

"TERMS (Unless otherwise contracted):
1) Quote valid 5 days. Order cannot extend delivery quoted;
2) No rejects accepted after 5 days or from obvious freight damage the day of receipt;

Yeah, I imagine freight from Mass to Idaho would be a bit cost prohibitive...

Mostly 'cause it's uphill all the way!

Mostly 'cause it's uphill all the way!

True statement!

[runfiverun]

with those terms.
at a nickel a pound for the lead, the packing and shipping would cost like 7 million dollars.
those figures are off the top of my head, i may be off two or three dollars.

[a.squibload]

Well, I just can't swing THAT much right now, but if 6 of you guys want to
go in with me...

[lwknight]

Their scrap lead is $1.65 and reclaimed shot is $ 1.24
plus a $15.00 packaging fee and shipping.
No bargains there guys.

They have a right to price stuff as they see fit.That said,when I asked about price on bullet alloy,they were TWICE as much as roto metals ! Must be a NE thing with the high prices. The shipping is a killer too !Local scrapyard sell WW for 60cents/lb,they sometimes have solder and other goodies at same price.

[lwknight]

I have to pay $1.00 for scrap lead locally. Last buy had 1 pound of 95/5 lead free solder included.

[a.squibload]

Bought some scrap about a month ago at 80¢/lb, there was some linotype mixed in, and plumber's pipe.

I guess I must be lucky. My brother in law works in a auto shop and gives me all the WW I can normally handle....No im not sharing lol
