Someone just answered my Craigslist ad about wanting scrap lead. He's got hundreds of pounds of wheel weights and asked what I'm paying for them. I hadn't given it much thought because I never expected anyone to answer.
I know the price of lead is *way* down from what it was a year ago. OTOH, wheel weights is my favorite form of lead (other than type metal) and I want to pay the guy a fair price for em -- without getting taken myself.
So what's the current going rate? About $30 per 5 gallon bucket? (assumes they are still oily and a few cigarette butts and valve stems mixed in) And how much does a 5 gallon bucket of WW's weigh? Thanks.
