This is SN 99.5% AG.5% solder (no lead)

Why does this only seem to happen when money is tight? Someone has this for sale, 20 miles from me,

"This is SN 99.5% AG.5% solder (no lead) Can maker quality in bar form each bar is one pound and comes in a 25 pound box $50.00 per box or make an offer"

The picture with the listing shows 15 boxes and a second listing has 25# rolls of the same stuff in wire form.

Well, that went quick, I just got off the phone with the seller and he has only 4 boxes left, I am meeting him at 8:00 am to pick up those.

That wouldn't last long at five times the price.

buy it all and sell half for double the price.

That's a normal business cycle.
All sorts of great deals flush out when the economy shrinks and people need quick money.

High conductivity lead free solder. Local power supply manufacturer has to have certified lead free for most of his contracts.

I texted the guy the day he posted it but have not received a reply. I was hoping I could swing the purchase and pick it up once we can travel again as I get to Burlington for work occasionally.

Wrong subforum, but I'm glad you got in on the deal.
