Hi all, I just joined for a couple of reasons. I'm a retired Journeyman Ironworker and have been doing metal sculpture for years and have just started forging at a friends Blacksmith shop. So I need a place to go to to learn and ask questions.

Secondly, my Friend has no computer skills and needs to get "out there on line" to communicate, market and sell his forged art work. I'm helping with this.

He has about three tons of dry coke he wants to sell. It's about 1-1/2" to 3/4" size and all in covered containers and can be loaded easily. He wants $1000 a ton for it and would like to sell it as one lot. I'm sure he would split it into three lots to sell easier.

Is his asking price reasonable (I have no idea)? What would be a fair price for this coke by the ton? He is located in central Soutnerm Wisconsin.

Thanks for the help and regards.

I can have a ton delivered to me in 50 pound sacks (40) for around $800.

Might help if you put in the generl location.

And welcome Bert. I spent 17 years as a union Ironworker in Los Angeles. Good to see you're moving into forging!

Last year I got a quote from L Brand coke that I could get 2000 lbs delivered for $526. Now I know that was last year but I can't imagine it's reached $1000 yet.

Rich, he stated Wisconsin.

That would be pretty high in Missouri. Can by 50# at a time for under $20.

Thanks for the information on coke costs. I'll suggest that he lowers the price to $500 a ton. He is located between Madison and Baraboo in Wisconsin. Shorty Tennenberg also a retired Ironworker.

For interest and price, it also makes a difference whether the coke was created from Anthracite or Bituminous coal. Many if not most blacksmiths prefer Bituminous coal and coke from Bituminous coal.

Welcome aboard Bert, glad to have you and we're looking forward to your friend as soon as you get him introduced to the lat 20th century.

Sorry I'm no help with the coke, I burn propane most of the time.

Frosty The Lucky.
