What's the price of lead these days?

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