Current price, $2.63 per pound, paid shipping @ Rotometals. For a quick sale, you might ask $2 per pound, shipping included. In May 2010, Rotometals had a sale. I bought 60 lbs, came to $2.11 per pound, shipping included. The alloy in question would have to be marked Rotometal, formula, with arrows on the side & stamped on the bottom with Lino. Other wise its just place scrap to me.

Look on ebay for reference, it's going for around $1 a lb and up.

Those should weigh 20 to 25 lbs each. Believe me, I used to be a printer. They could also be monotype which is even harder, this is the second metal that was used in print shops.
