We recently conpleted a group lead buy of about 50 people and I figured I would share what we learned for future purchases.
All the lead was sold before I placed the order, so I have no extra.
1 - the lead was purchased from Doe Run
2 - We paid about 64.5 cents a pound after expenses
3 - The lead comes bundles of about a 2100 pounds.
4 - The ingot size, called a "pig", range from 55 to 70 pounds.
5 - A fork lift is a wonderful thing and a rental cost us $310.
If I was to do this again I would make the minumum order a ton because I spent lots of time organizing and passing out lead.
If we did this today the price would be about 70 cents a pound
