Hi, my neighbors had to all move from the property next door, bank repo...and one of them left behind crates and crates of welding rod. It had been stored in the shed. When I arrived on the scene the door had been left open, dont know for how long. Any way, I got the truck and loaded it up. My motorhead friends gave me the low down on old rod and how it has to be kept just so...or its pretty much crap if its been out in the elements, seen moisture, way old etc. So what looks like crap and I tossed aside in the pile, I shouldnt have probably mixed them up, but Im separating them now, and stripping their coat off. What should I expect from the guys (whoever they are) who watch me come in with this stuff, and what kind of prices should I expect to be told.... and what should I do with the rest? I hate to try to sell it as rod, if I cant weld with it first to make sure its not also for the scrap pile, but Ive got 25 different varieties, the cans they came in look waaay old, but some never opened... anyway I dont want to sell substandard anything on
ebay and I have like 350 pounds here, I can list what they are..... if anyone cares to hear em and wouldnt mind helping a girl out, with average CMV... This isnt my normal area of expertise....however ask me about CMV for anything else you can find people collecting out there and theres a demand and a market for, and theyre buying it, its likely I can help you with your subject item of unfamiliarity. Ive got a list here:
6013
6011
7018
347
309
502
480
505
haskelline
ra 330
4043
6010
i know it depends on the mm of the rod, price wise too.... i just dont recognize mm size by sight so its trying my patience trying to figure out whats what. Any ideas what to expect and do I have to take the stripped scrap rod to a specialty recycler or will any yard take it generally?
