I was at a flee market and one of the younger sellers, maybe 30-35, had a table with the standard junk, but I noticed two bags of lead shot, maybe 1/4 full each, and im being generous. I picked them both up and asked him how much he wanted. He replied with " I have the two bags , but did you noticed the lead bar?"
He had a 40/60 solder lead bar. I asked him how much for everything. HE SAID 80$!
I told him that he was alittle over priced... Over here, a lead shot bag of 20lbs is around 65-70$. I just bought a bag a few months ago.
So the conversation went on as so:
Me: " You're actually pretty expensive"
Seller: " well how much do you want to give me?"
Me: " Not 80$, a full bag of 20lbs is 70$, you barely have 1/4 in each bag."
Seller: " Its lead, and it sells close to 2$ a pound. If you don't want it, il sell it to someone else"
I walked away... Anyone else have a similar issue?
If I would of gave him 2$ a pound I would of paid a fraction of his price.. Maybe 3-5lbs in each bag.
