Default I want to buy a solid piece of pure tungsten, 3 to 15 lbs.

So what are Tig pure tungsten sticks do for you ?
That might be a source.

Anyone have a solid piece of pure tungsten (98% pure or better) they might
want to sell? I'd like a piece weighing three to five pounds, but up to
fifteen pounds is OK if the price is good enough.

I may be able to get you a piece for something above scrap value.



Fair enough.


As a result of the manufacturing process, tungsten is less than 100%
dense. In general, it gets denser as it's worked; e.g., pressed -
sintered - rolled - drawn.



Ah, thank you. You guessed what I'm interested in--tungsten at its most
dense state (or practically so--upwards of 18.4g·cm?3 at least.)
So, yeah--now I understand it's going to be over scrap price because it'll
be worked (in addition to markup of course.)


If you're interested, we can arrange a private auction through eBay, I
will
pay your listing fees.

Why not just a cash sale?


Because I didn't know you could do that through eBay. If you mean a
straight cash sale direct, person-to-person, I could probably do that, but
there'd be more risk for me--what recourse would I have if I paid and never
got the item? But all this is moot if I can't meet your price. What price
range are we looking at?
