I have accumulated a decent quantity of scrap tungsten (wire, and pure W) over a number of years, and I want to sell it, but there are very few scrap metal dealers around who can cope with the stuff. More of them know about tungsten carbide, but that isn't what I have.
Anyway, I have no idea what this stuff should bring per pound. I have done searches till google is coming out my - well, you know... The last time I sold this, I was at the mercy of the dealer for what it was worth, and though I know all scrap metal guys are kind and totally without avarice, I'd still like to know how well I'm faring with their quote. Sorta gives me some room to negotiate, as it were.
A reasonable estimate is that I have about 400# of the stuff.
Does anyone have any idea what this should bring per pound, in the quantities I have? I know the middleman has to make a profit - I just don't feel he needs to make a killing at my expense. I'd be willing to accept 50% of what he gets - seems fair to me.
