SILVALOY 40% SILVER SOLDER FOR SALE

[Ishmael]

Here is some cadmium-free 40% silver solder, made by Wolverine, which now belongs to Lucas-Milhaupt.

To establish fair pricing, I wrote to Lucas-Milhaupt, but they were of no help, declining to quote a price, and referring me to Linde near me, who have already failed to quote me a price. I therefore refer to Amazon, eBay, and McMaster-Carr, all of whom want a lot for this stuff:

Amazon: $CDN74.61+ HST = 84.31

eBay: $CDN95.76 + shipping + duty + GOK what else....
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/154620293326?_skw=lucas+milhaupt&itmmeta=01JWBXPSQF43HKMYPGZ63ZWKT3&hash=item24001670ce:g:QTkAAMXQcWVREmQO&itmprp=enc:AQAKAAAA8FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1cioZO5HCWMgtO4mGU76wanspyQleZqIpbzyJTGNIZPCLJH0UtQT9Uv4JfoAr5kbdFFYAe0Qu3Gvvn4WVjHoEUFJRyMz9BkLYcwIHp7aSyOIGUtFNpFuADk1R4QGmvlxtym51BBNTvBB7QjKAS0HBJsIP969lg05jKigZt76fG/gkE9O77+DlBueCL16zLDFRVwaAN8KJBQ8hj3vDnxm3KQ8zXY8WQUxX1OOOCLeqWcq7ESHkRUThY1qpXCB0dc65PZwNVf/bckhFYfHwFjPvTAoc5QSG7j39t+a2vPb2dj1g==|tkp:Bk9SR-qb2_3iZQ

The foregoing two examples are prices for 45% silver; as mine is 40%, I have adjusted my price accordingly (and reasonably, I think),

McMaster has the real 40% stuff. I've attached a shot of their page. They want $USD79.79 for 2.5 feet, plus shipping, plus duty, plus GST plus maybe brokerage, etc..

I can sell my silver solder for $CDN60.00/Troy ounce (no cadmium, no HST, either), which represents a significant saving. This gives you 2.5 feet of 3/32" wire.

I won't cheat you; I'll make sure that you get a full Troy ounce ( 31.2 grams).

PM me if you're interested.

A funny story about such... And a free bump to the top...

Next door neighbor had a Garage Sale. I was away at the time, else I would have been and seen. So, he is clearing out all the unsold stuff, he sees me in my driveway and approaches me. "You weld and stuff, don't you?" he says. "Can you use this?"

"This", was a 1 Kilo tube of fluxed 55% silver solder rods! He had asked $5 for them at his sale, and nobody bit, so he just gave them to me...

So, I still have most of the package. Silver was not as stupid then (2010-ish), but it wasn't worthless either...
