If I went to the scrapyard........

[GLOCKENNBOOMER]

What would be a fair price for wheelweights and scrap? I called a local yard and asked them how much for WW and they said .25 a pound.Hell 100 pounds would be $25, Don't sound bad to me but I'm new at this.

[Anvil]

I called yesterday, they said 68 cents a pound. I laughed my butt off and hung up on them.

[ANeat]

.25 a pound is a great price, I dont really need it but Id probably buy 1000 pounds at that price if they had it

[jawjaboy]

Two bits a pound is a good price, nowadays. I'm still cringing a wondering when my main peeps gonna up my usual price of $25 a 5gal bucket.:skep:

[ISUSteve]

Its 50 cents/pound here.

i talked to dad about it today(he is the shop supervisor at a tire shop) he said he has to have $.85/pound. i almost soiled myself.......i used to be able to go in and grab buckets as often as they were full.

At 25c/#, I would buy all I could & melt them into ingots & sell them for $1/#.:supergrin:

I stopped at the gas station I do 90% of mechanics and fuel from for the past 14 years. I can start collecting some WW. One guy gets some all ready and some race car guy gets some occasionally. Don't know if I will cast yet but it sure won't hurt to collect.

[chewy]

Damn! My WW search has come to halt! My gig only pays one time a month. Gotta wait till next month. Probably un-ethical as hell in my profession, but I got a client who who is going to ask the Desiel mech. about WWs at the trck stop he works at. That would eb a score. Another guy, who owns a tire store wanted $100.00 for a 5 gallon bucket!

[gokyo]

I would buy it at that price. All kinds of people are crying about how things used to be. Well You can not buy a candy bar for a dime anymore either.

Suck it up and be glad you are not paying 1.00/1lbs.

$100.00 for a bucket full would probably end up being more than $1.00 a pound by the time all the clips are skimmed off.

Depending on how full it could be less than 100lbs to 130lbs. You loose about 15% in clips so your net can be 85lbs or less to 110lbs
