Jeez! You guys are so tight you squeak.

It's expensive if you're buying it at the Home Depot.

It's a thousand to one shot that any scrap yard you go to would have pure
tin.
But its even money that every one has a pail of half used solder bars lying
around.

You lose both bets. I was at the local scrap yard this morning and
asked about tin and solder. They said they had both, referring to the
tin as " block tin ". i bought the solder they had in a bucket, so
they did have some but do not now. The Tin was a bit expensive so
they still have it.
