I just got some for $.50/lbIt's getting harder to get a good deal on anything these days. I found a good deal on the internet, but it's in CA.
It was double that 20 years ago so I think you got a deal!I just got some for $.50/lb
What would you want for say, half a drum of them.I've got access to six 55 gallon drums of used tire weights.These are the old ones...no alloy.I could maybe help someone out?
What's it going for these days?

Chances are being aluminum wheels, the stick on weights are zinc alloy or aluminum alloy. Don't think your guna find actual lead weights even on steel wheel trucks.Downtown parking garage......how many wheel weights can you strip off in an hour?
Did I forget the purple?Chances are being aluminum wheels, the stick on weights are zinc alloy or aluminum alloy. Don't think your guna find actual lead weights even on steel wheel trucks.
Don't believe so. There is still alot of people out there that don't know about wheel weights. I seen someone on Facebook a few weeks ago trying to sell newer looking weights as old 1s. You could clearly see they were zinc or another alloy..they looked painted silver/grey color unlike actual lead weights. Back when Obama n company decided to do away with lead, people kidded around about parking lots and junkyards for "finding" lead.Did I forget the purple?
Sounds like you are doing OK, gather it while you can. It's not like it has a shelf life.I just got some for $.50/lb
Hoarder...Regular lead is what I'm looking for, but if going to have to drive far I want at least 1000#.
I picked up about 300lb for $.50/lb, already poured into ingots.Hoarder...
Our local scrap yards refuse to sell anything back to the public.My local tire stores want $50 and more for a 3/4 filled 5 gallon bucket of mixed wheel weights. The last bucket I bought averaged $1.50 per lb of alloyed lead.
My local scrapyard get 10 to 20 cents per lb for any type of lead. My last visit there was a good size roll of lead pipe. I left it for anyone else.
Another scrapyard wants $1 for lead and $1.25 for wheel weights.
