Howdy all,

Need to sell some of my Tin supply due to negative cash flow, need to know current value of Kester bars.

Thanks,

Sam :D

Sam, John Walters of Walters Wads fame, is advertising pure Sn @ $19.00 a pound. [smilie=1:

Interesting because the London market has Sn at 9.8702 US per lb

Boy, am I glad I laid in 50#'s some years back from a fella advertising here on Cast Boolits for $5.00/lb !

That alloy of 63/37 was a very good buy a few years ago It seems that they had two guys selling it. I have plenty of it and it's great solder.

I pay $10/lb for tin on eBay. So 10 lbs of 63/37 would get a bid of $63, delivered.

As for Kester bar solder, there's a seller on eBay that has 1lb bars of Kester E-Bar 99.3%Sn .7%Cu selling for $10.00/bar. The same seller also has some larger and some smaller bars of solder that's the same makeup as the Kester bars he's selling.
