Yesterday I stopped by a small recycling shop and asked about lead. I was directed to an old Grey haird man in bibs shuffling about the shop. At first he showed me some cable sheathing and old sewer pipes, then asked what I was going to use it for. I told him I was going to cast some bullets. He then says, oh you might like this better and takes me to another spot that had 2 buckets of dirty cast bullets. He said he'd take $1/# . We piled it all on the scale along with a big ingot of something that was really heavy. It was 107# so I gave him $100 and loaded into the truck.
Now I'm reading about .40-.65 cents a # for scrap lead... Did I get a good deal, or did I pay way too much?
I didn't get the cable sheathing, but I'm thinking about going back to get it. What would be a good price to offer him?
