A friend of mine brought in some carbide a month ago or so. At $9.00 a lb. I dont remember how much it weighed but came out to $2,844.00. Not bad for old machine parts / Heavy duty drill bits.
I scored about $2500-$2600 with some "slitting line knives" once
HAHAHAHA.........prove it......

the size of a typical slitting set is shown in image knives were about 9 lbs each when they were sharpened to small to use.
9 lbs x 24 knives = 216 lbs x 12 = $2592.00
but that is just mathematical reasoning. so the claim that i sold a set for 2600 is not so far fetched.
LOL! I was talking about the video and you having a twin.......my bad. hahahaha.... I believe you about the knives dude!
I've got a fair bit stored up, do you mind me asking who your buyer is Jack? I've been trying to find somewhere in Canada to sell to.
DEVO, google scrap carbide buyers and I bet there will be 30 to 40 companies that come up. Find one and ship it to them just find a trusted buyer. You might have to send off a sample first then get the analysis back and a solid quote from them. Just a thought.
Ok video was less than informative........After a little research I found several sources of this metal and will be on the lookout.............
So you are a magician too, eh????
here is what you do call up local carbide insert suppliers because most of the the ones I met buy them themselves. you just call and say hey I have xxx lbs of carbide and i need a buyer. the distributors should hook you up or just buy them off of you no running around.Quote:

Sorry you took offence to someone exercising sound business practice and doing a little networking, in the future I'll do it privately.
Kool beans Mike, any leads or links for us you'd care to share in here? :) lbQuote:

Just my two cents worth. Oh ya, gonna do this a bit more today, seeing as it is Christmas eve and all. Have a very Merry Christmas dude. :) lbQuote:
