Been following this thread and taking in a lot of great deals. Made a purchase on shoes.com during the 30% off but it got cancelled today due to out of stock. Any other places have a decent deal on great shoes. I ordered Baffin Impacts, anything better for around that $100 range

Recvd Spud bar from cabelas today. Thanks to the poster. Great deal. What I dont get is this big 52" hunk of steel with welded chipping bit and nice rubber type handle and strap is the same price they're asking for that tiny little eskimo ice anchor adapter. Something smells fishy...Oh wait, its not powdercoated.

Those same guys who buy scrap sell it!! A local scrap yard sells lead .70 cents a pound.. so do the math on 50 lbs it's way cheaper them roto metals.. with shipping you can even buy clean range lead on ebay.. by the way the only reason I would shop roto metals is if I am making bullets.. soft lead tends to deform easier then haveing more Tin or bismuth in it.. the harder the lead the more accurate the shot is with less deformation of the bullet along shot path before mushrooms on or in the target.. but if just pouring jigs sinkers etc go to a scrap yard save half the price... difference Is clean lead versus contaminated lead you can't pour threw a pour spout with out it clogging .. this is why I use the percision magnum meter that holds 20 lbs of lead.. there's no pour spout on it but it ladles off just fine.. best investment I have made yet for fishing!! This is the avarge for scrap yads .75 cents per pound to sell to you bUT to buy from you it .62 cents for soft lead scrap.. now wheel weights are .30 cents s pound to buy and Like .15 cents a pound to sell to them.. just depends on ware you go so keep this in mind before you rip out your copper plumbing and sell it.. or rip out your neighbors a/c unit with out him knowing lol's .. we get those illegal scrapers on the news up here all the time so I had to joke.. any how if you need steel check scrap yards like for welding table tops etc.. but like said the there are reason to buy from rotometals like if making .38 cal wad cutters from a mold ?? Like my uncle did when he was on the police force.. before he retired.. https://www.877ironmike.com/metal-prices
Your lucky if you have a scrap yard that sells lead for that price and consistently has it in stock.eBay nowdays is close to $2 per pound shipped for most listings I have looked at.My local scrap yard is $1 per pound IF they have any. They often times don't have any.Rotometals always has lead and always has good clean lead.Wheel weights are very dirty and over 1/2 are not lead anymore.Many Do-It molds recommend pure lead.Plus Rotometals has the tin and antimony to make your own alloys.They also sell quality ladels, skimmers,etc.So for those who cannot find lead locally or who want a good known alloy they are great to do business with.
Shows a price of 229$ on my screen ? I could use a new pair of bibs ... Any idea what I'm doing wrong ?
. Amazon's pricing can change very quickly, sometimes only takes one person to buy a item and the price jumps.
Ya lead prices are astronomical right nown and keep going up.. $1 a pound Is better then $1.60 a pound plus shipping if you think about it you can get lead on ebay 2 a pound with free shipping some times?? So it comes out about same.. that would be why I delt with roto metals is the alloys like you said..
