    Hi,

    I have arround 25kg of lead that i dont really want. Its in rolls of it i guess for roofing. Is it worth anything at the scrap metal place?

    Yes. Lead is commanding a high price again hence why all the gypo's are back on the rob :lol: :lol:

    Know idea how much it fetches though, but 25kg should by you a good few beer tokens!

    True. I took in 140 Kg of lead a while back and got 59.90
    Some Pikeys were there with maybe 6-8 Kg of stripped copper cable and they got 35

    I got 0.68 per kilo on th 8th january, at that rate you're looking at 17.

    Better than a poke in the eye I suppose!
