I would say grab it fast. Although, I have a scrapper I buy ww's from for 45 cents a pound. Last purchase was right at 500 pounds. Turns out, more than half were steel. Will they let you take a look at them?

I would also recommend getting them, I have yet to actually see the price go down.

Buy as much as you can! That is a good price.

Even if you end up with only 250 pounds of usable alloy for $250.00 , you did OK.
Granted a lot of people get free lead but some of us just have to cough it up.
You cannot buy lead and 3% antimony for $1.00 per pound just anywhere except here in SW section when its available and you still have shipping costs.

If you don't want it lots of guys here would pay $70 for a flat rate box of WW. You could certainly get your money back plus a little.

Not a bad price. Should be around 5 buckets (5 gal buckets) depending on how much is soww's. Are they firm on this price?? Will they let you inspect (shuffle the buckets around) to see how it looks as far as relation of steel weights?

Give me a call if you need help hauling it!! :bigsmyl2:

Zinc and Steel? You need to know what you are buying, before you buy. If it is mostly lead, not a bad deal!
