So, for reasons I've not been able to explain until recently, I always save my pewter scraps. Extra flash, sprue pieces, chopped up models, etc. I was doing some research recently, and discovered that some places will pay decent money for pewter scraps (to be melted down into something useable, I'd guess), so I had a thought. Why not have everyone save up all their scraps and stuff, get it all together and bring it to one of these places, and use the money we make from it to fund the Jackhead website, and various group expenses (tourney costs, upgrades, whatever). I still need to do some more research, and find out: 1) if this really is a viable option, and 2) where to take all the pewter when its together, but I was wondering if other people would be interested and willing to participate, or if its just me, and I'm crazy.
I've already got about 2.5 pounds of scraps, give or take a bit, by the way, and I'd be happy to house the collection.

And how much are these places paying for scraps? and what places, like names, are you talking about? Better not be those commie Chinese bastards who already drove the copper market (and therefore petwer) through the ceiling.

So far the closest place Ive found is about 2 hours away, but they'll pay 3-4 bucks a pound. Still doing research. Be paitent.

it was a good idea but im gonna have to agree with him on this one fox, grantedyou have alot of pewter yourself and it will help with the most current payment. But im assuming that all that pewter scrap is stuff you've gathered over a lifetime of gaming. I doubt our ability to even gather up one pound of scrap annually.

The most obvious, and useful way to raise money is simply for us to donate to the fund to keep this website up ourselves. A few bucks a year is definitely worth it to keep this site up, so lets just give kako some cash and be done with it...for this year anyway.

Getting back to this: Yeah, I didnt mean for this to be like a year to year thing- just one, maybe 2 years depending on how much we actually collect. I figured it'd be like free Jackhead for a year, not forever  Im still collecting my own pewter, and still looking for a good place to sell it. Again, if you're interested, feel free to drop me a line. |
