lead value

[crappiehuntr]

what would be a good trade value for 30 lbs of good lead?

[robbor]

I paid about 10 cents a pount the last time for wheel weights, soft lead is harder to find for me id say 60cents to$1 a lb. should be fair

I just got some good sheet lead for 50cents a lb but it was from a friend,like robbor said up to a buck is fair.

[BamaMan]

It goes for .75 cent to $1.00 lb here.

you should be able to get soft sheet lead uncleaned for $0.60 a pound and $0.80lb for cleaned

Call me extremely lucky but I've never had to buy lead, but I'm gettin closeon cleaned pure until I get my melters up and running. Got lucky and picked up a WHOLE bunch from a local plumber.

I go to the Cast Boolits site and the guys talk lead prices all the time. Up to a dollar on good pure lead is pretty good.

You'd think for what it goes for nowadays we were striking money out of it instead of making fishing lures.
