What is bulk lead selling for these days?

 

[3macs1]

Here they pay 60 cents a pound and sell it for $1.00 a pound

Yah, $1/lb if you buy it from a scraper. If you put in some time scrounging, you can probably find some half that price. I still pick up wheel weights for about $0.32/lb. After processing ~$0.60/lb.

Haven't really paid for any lead yet. What I did buy was 75 cents a pound for ww ingots the other (rough estimate) 900-1000 pounds was free

Lead wheel weights are pretty much disappearing around here. They have not been installed since 2008 on new vehicles
Other than some at the heavy truck shops lead is getting harder to find in WW seeing lots of zinc and steel now

I saw a guy trying to sell 1 lb. ingots at the Eganville gun show for $2. I think he was optimistic.

I have excess Wheelweight ingots and have tried to sell them on CGN in the past. Buyers either want a tiny quantity, or want to pay 50 cents a pound or less. When I sell, it will be to the scrap metal dealer.

That's unfortunate. Wish I was closer.

I've paid between 60 cents to a dollar a pound for WW at different scrap yards.

That hasn`t been my experience. I sold over 400 pounds for $1 a pound in less than a week.
