After some feedback about the metal Gallium it seems people are interested but not sure where you would be able to sell the metal once you own it.
So I phoned around a couple of metal specialists and I’ve found a foundry near Liverpool UK that deals in rare earths and specialist metals.
They’ll be able to buy and supply Rare Earth and just plain rare metals. Of course, they’ll be talking minimum orders of several kilo’s upwards, so I’ll look into a section of the shop where I can buy the small quantities of unusual metals people may hold as an investment. It'll probably as a 2% less than scrap price much like how silver is bought back by bullion traders.
I also found out Gallium isn’t part of the Rare Earth group of metals. Gallium is plain and simply rare, as in, there is hardly any of the metal on the face of the planet or universe.
The boss of the foundry told me more about what he’s noticed in the Rare Earth metal market. He says, these metals have shot up in price and are now difficult to get hold of because of China’s restriction on export supply. So I’ve heard it now, straight from the horses mouth.
A little reminder. Russia restricted the export of Palladium in 2000 and the price increased ten fold!
I’ll see if I can buy metals like Indium, Tantalum and Hafnium from the foundry because that would save on import duty and shipping and of course bring you the customer the cheapest possible price.
Copper Bars
The 1kilo copper bars are selling well and I'll have to get some more manufactured soon. I'll look into production of 2 kilo and 1/2kilo bars as well.
