I have a bunch of clean bar stock & plate drops I'm trying to figure out if I want to scrap or try to sell them in pcs here on PM, ebay, and some of the flea markets that come up. I want to move in the future and am starting to take steps to lighten the load.
Taking it all to the scrap yard is the easiest route. Selling it here or on ebay certainly takes much more effort. A lot of it still has the markings from the mill so I definetly know what it is.
But the trade-off is more $$ for lots of effort to sell by the piece. Would you scrap it or try and sell by the piece? I want to hear from folks who have done this. I'm not in a super hurry at this time. So I could do a little at a time I suppose.
This is not a for sale ad. If it comes to that, I'll place an ad in the "For Sale" section. At this time I want to find out from those who have done it how they feel about the $ Pay-Off vs time effort.
Here is what I have:
6061 Alum: Rounds & discs from 3/8 on up to 8 inch diam, 3/8 & 1/2 thick plate, and some blocks of tool & jig plate
12L14 Steel: 1-3/16 Hex & 2.5 diam rounds
303 SS: 1-3/8 diam bar
Brass: Various sz bars, discs, plates, & sheets
Titanium: 1.2 inch diam x 6 ft, grade unknown
Also, wondering what the scrap rate is on the following materials:
Alum, steel, brass, SS, & Ti
