Just thought I would give you guys a heads up, anyone looking to never have to buy lead again... Probably money to be made there too.

 

[bear.23]

that's ONLY 270,000 45 ACP bullets (230's) I did say only!

 

[IronCanadian]

Hey that's just up the street from me, I wonder if I could convince them to sell me just a brick or two... ha!

 

[lister]

^^^

You're not the first to think of that!

 

[NaviDave]

In Winnipeg no less!

Wonder if it is pure soft lead or other?

Group buy?

 

[lister]

We'd need a large group.....

Total weight of 8900 lbs.........just throw those in the back of the Prius , and you are good to go.......

 

[SandRoad]

Minimum bid is $6,500

That's $0.73 /lb.

Current lead price is $0.90 US/lb so a bit over $1 CDN/lb. They may or may not get their minimum bid.

i had to check the math, that seemed like a very small amount for 8900lbs.

 

[wbaad]

Too expensive considering it could be expensive to dispose of if nobody wants it...

 

[Lead Loader]

Sell as scrap, only $0.50/lb scrap lead.

 

[SandRoad]

Sell as scrap, only $0.50/lb scrap lead.

Why sell it at $0.50/lb when you would have to buy it at $0.73/lb? That's liberal accounting...

 

[SHELL SHUCKER]

I get 5 gal. buckets of wheel weights for 25 bucks from tire shops. Easy to clean and then melt in the production pot.

Me too! I thought maybe he dropped a zero or two.

Now, if only I had $6500, I'd see how flat I could make the springs in my quarter ton.

 

[S1de8urnz]

6500$ is a pretty high mininum bid. Considering the risk of no one buying it, Id personaly drop it to 4.5k$. Than atleast the bidder could get his cost back for scrap.

You are a lucky man. Hereabouts about 3-4 years ago both major automotive shops started a recycling program for their wheelweights.

Before this they were totally free for the asking as long as you showed up with a bucket. The happy time is over! lol

 

[Porkchopsandwhich]

Its worth $3500-$4500 I am not sure where they got $6500 local lead price is around .40 cents per lbs.

Group buy?

If it was used for radioactive shielding it would be pure....I use the same stuff at work....beautiful stuff

 

[cz52]

They seem to be selling the stupidest things on GCSurpluss...

 

[pomelum]

what do you expect from them, selling stuff for a good price?
its like EE, you got to have a good fishing cane and alot of patience. once you caught the fish your good.
