I have 2 pallets of ER70S-3 mig wire for sale.  Wire is in 33LB spools and .030 in diameter.  All spools are still in factory packaging and sealed, no rusty spools in the mix.  I have a total of 133 spools for sale, would like to sell by the pallet.  Each pallets has 61 spools on it.  I am willing to ship common carrier if your willing to pay the shipping.  I am looking for $.75LB for these.  Just got off the phone from our filler metals vendor and list price is $2.40LB.  Please serious inquires only.  Any questions you can PM me, or call the shop 1-603-692-9940 Thank You.

Reply:The price is right for sure... But your location and shipping charges will be the main factor... Check the flat rate boxes at the Post Office for one that fits...probably the cheapest method to ship one spool if it will fit.

Reply:Yeah, Flat rate would be nice, but they aint gonna fit in a flat rate.  Largest flat rate is 12"x12".  Makes ya wonder some times how companies can ship USPS for so cheap, when it costs everyone else an arm and leg.  I just shipped a reloading press in a flat rate box.  Had to dismantle a pin to get it to fit; otherwise, I would have had to pay $40.00.
Reply:Sorry guys, my location is Somersworth, NH.  Not sure on the brand, we had a container full of wire shipped to us years ago and this is some stuff we have left that we don't use.  The spools are sealed in plastic in the boxes.   This isn't something I will be selling one spool of on here at a time, due to shipping it just wouldn't be cost effective for you and I.  Pickup is preferred and if someone was willing to take all of it then we could negotiate the price more.Thanks,Rescue Welding

Reply:Open for offers on this wire, we are only selling this by the pallet.  Sadly all this wire will be going to the scrap yard soon if no one wants it...make me an offer.  Buyer pays shipping charges.  Feel free to call me here at the shop 1-603-692-9940 ask for Matt.
Reply:Matt, if you bust one open and find it's long cast wire (60" or more to make a circle when dropped on the floor) Borerepair may want to take a look at it.E70s-3 makes for pretty good multipass welding.Anyway here's the website with the phone & e-mail at the bottom; http://www.borerepair.addr.com/Good luckMatt
Reply:Scrap ought to be about .10 a pound maybe less.You need to advertise this on ebay or a welding supply sales site. There don't seem to be many takers for the whole 4000 lb load... It's going to require an industrial fabrication shop for that much wire and most probably don't want to tie up that much in inventory of old wire.I just bought a 33 lb roll of this exact wire S&H was $15. It would be better to sell it a roll at a time than to scrap it and get less than the time it took to haul it to the junkyard. You'd have the same money if you only sold a tenth of the pallet. I hate to see it all go for scrap. You can bet the scrap dealer will pull it aside and make a killing on it one roll at a time.
Reply:You could call local welding shops and offer it up for more than scrap, and they could send a truck to get it. Let them load it and the only finger you'd have to lift is to accept payment.It's an odd duck that whoever buys will have to store like your company had to.
Reply:Drop it down to me (on the north shore in MA) and I'll split the profit/money with you 50/50 and take care of the BS with S&H. PM me if you're interested.ESAB Heliarc 252
Reply:We have had three local welding suppliers come in and try to buy our inventory and none of them were interested in our pallets of old filler metals, I have pallets of 6010, 6012, 6013, 7018, 7024 etc etc of all kinds of rod that we aren't even going to attempt to sell because its old (flux holds up fine when you hit a rod against a hard surface though).  No one wants old wire/rod, or at least the welding supply company's don't because the heat number is just to old for them to sell it.  We had a hell of a time just selling our inventory of consumables, sold everything for probably an eighth of what our cost on it was and we got some nice discounts from our vendors.  The local fab shops are even pickier about their wire then the supply companies again because of the heat number and age of the wire...and the unknown origin.  All this wire was ordered/received way before my time here and the owner had very little to do with our supply store because he was busy at our jobsites (we do highrises/bridge work).  Any offers will be considered even if its a few hundred dollars, the owner just wants to get rid of this stuff and make room in the shop for a lot of work we are starting shortly.  We just don't have the time to sell it one box at a time.
Reply:That's a deal for someone.FWIW we had pallets of "many year old" stick rod donated to us. We baked it (it was Nitetsu which burned similar to 7018) and it bend-tested fine.I don't know if any vo-techs are within range, but they can give you a receipt for donations and it can be a nice tax break at your estimate of retail value). Many of them have trucks and can come get the stuff.Community colleges have notoriously tight budgets for consumables, and even if a particular consumable isn't currently used in their curriculum instructors often have latitude to add variety. I'd track down an actual welding program person. I expect they'd be delighted.If I were still running a vo-tech toolroom I'd look into making an offer for the whole pile. Truck freight is cheap.I don't know these folks but might be worth a shot.http://www.manchestercommunitycolleg...emics/programs
Reply:Damn, I thought you were closer to MA than that. I still might take a trip up time permitting.Disclaimer; "I am just an a$$hole welder, don't take it personally ."
Reply:I'll give you $100 for the 4000lbs of wire and can be down to pick it up monday the 22.

Reply:Heres another place to donate. Its the school and program I went through. Cantact John Bolduchttp://www.smccme.edu/academics-a-re...facturing.html
Reply:My welding school should have an interest in it.  http://www.auto.edu/  Call and ask to talk to Ernie Bennett in charge of the welding program, they may even take the rod that you have as well.Welding Supervisor Department of Corrections.
Reply:I did not even think about donating it to a vocational school and I went to one in Maine.  I really appreciate your help on this gentlemen, I will be talking to the owner and see what he would like to do.  Joe6 I think we can get more then $100 for the wire at the scrap yard, thank you for your offer though.

Reply:Donations are great publicity too. Don't be shy about a gentle request for a mention. School officials can write letters to the editor thanking donors while encouraging other donors.Schools can use old equipment of other types for maintenance training, machine teardown, etc. A school with a wide range of programs can use a WIDE range of stuff from junk cars for auto shop to old production machinery for industrial maintenance classes to dead welders for teardown  "show and tell".There aren't many welding schools left, and our country needs entry-level welders as the old one move up or retire.The actual instructors are who to speak with.
Reply:Votech schools, scouts, 4H... There's a ton of places that would probably love to have  "free" rods or wire. You'd probably get more "money" from the tax credit where you can write off full retail on it as a donation, than you would for the scrap value. Even write it off as "advertising" if you ask that they make note of your donation publicly..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth! Ronald Reagan
Reply:do you have any of that wire or rod left?
