Mike,

If your interested in trading for something harder, I have 96Pb-3Sb-1Sn coming Thursday and would love to trade some.

Sam :D

I think you should ask 10 cents per pound and because you are a prominent member I will help you out by taking all of it.

I really need to sell the lead so I can buy my 9 tags for my Hummer, Truck, Sweeper truck, camper, 3 Scooters and My Gulf boat that I cant use because of the Oil spill.Mike

I think most would pay $1/# plus shipping.

I really need to sell the lead...

Has this been recovered during demolition? Was it used as flashing?
Shower basins? Or is ti new?

Thanks!

I got this from a friend who got it from his place of Work.It is from roof flashing and large sheets.I guess the large sheets are from X-Ray rooms or shower basins.So I guess it is from Demolition.Mike

Now I don't feel so bad, I paid 75¢/lb today for 65 lbs of sheet lead at the army surplus store, and they
threw in a dirty plastic bucket!
I got all they had.
Not the greatest price but didn't get robbed either, I guess.

They also have big steel ball bearings by the pound, oooh, shiny...had to get a few.

Any lead that you buy at $0.75 today is a bargain. Next year the price could be out of reach.
Lead is an investment and even more so is antimony because most all antimony comes from China.
Eventually China will have to divorce the US$ to save themselves and we won't be able to buy anything abroad at any tolerable prices.
