100+

It only takes 5 bricks to reach 100 lbs

I have about 300 lbs in stock at the moment, but they are all spoken for and will be mailed soon.
Over the last year, I have shipped well over a ton (probably ~2,500 lbs) to various members.

Daniel may have sold even more.

OK guys, seems some of us have a lot and some have none.

I think we can all agree that pure nickel is relatively hard to find! (And i'm not talkin bout those 1oz. buffalo rip-off bars)

I emailed a seller on ebay who sells exotic & base metal bullion bars, he actually makes them himself. I want to see if he can make 1lb. nickel bullion bars. I think that would be pretty neat. I don't have a steady source of CDN .999, some Ni bars would be cool.

I presume you all are seeking Nickel at far under spot, elsewise, if you want physical nickel, you can buy nickel pellets. I found out in searching that what I used to know as Inco is now part of Vale, though the website is still inco.com.

Around 5lbs. I'll buy CA nicks it on eBay if I notice they can be had for around less than 15 cents a piece shipped - I pretty much factor in shipping as part of the premium. I don't care if the price of anything is at spot if the shipping pushes it way over I'll keep looking. Closer to 10 cents a piece is better obviously but not more than 15. For the small quantities that I buy that is rare but it happens. It's always fun getting bulk prices for small quantities of things.

Coins of known and verifiable purity and weight (via the RCM) are more desirable than "pellets" methinks :?:

When you click "New Topic" look down past where you type in what you want to say. There are 3 different tabs that you can select. One of the tabs says poll creation. Click that and than you can create your poll. :)

Precisely. Just like you can buy copper shot or silver shot at a discount. I prefer 1/100th of a pound round (or multiple sided) with a beaver on one side. Or rabbit, or ...... Geez so many varieties :D of a known weight and composition
