I do some silversmithing, as a hobby, and I want to buy scrap silver to melt down and reform into sheet and wire etc. then make "recycled" silver jewellery.
I think ebay may be a possible place to get some, but I'm in need of advice on what kind of £/p limit I should give myself per gram. Sites I've seen that buy scrap silver pay around 60p a gram, does that sound about right? Or have I got my calculations muddled (I'm in the right mood to misplace a decimal point in my head!
)?
There's plenty of scrap on auction, which is great because sourcing it hasn't/isn't easy.
(And I really want to do pieces a bit bigger!
)
My green fingers are crossed...
