rogerxd45 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 ok so i have a chance to buy some potassium but in order to get a good deal i have to buy more then i need, so i was wondering if anyone here would be interested in buying some at $5 a gram, i have all the hazmat containers so that wont cost you extra just the actual cost to ship it let me know and please only serious people so i dont buy it and get stuck with lots of extra K im looking to sell about 20 grams. and if you buy all 20g i will pay shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerxd45 Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 well, no, all my lab funds for the next year are planned outu all i want is for you to backup you statement about it being much cheaper elsewhere this would benifit everyone on this forum interested in alkali metals the cheapest i could find was $1,200 for a thousand grams with small amounts the shipping is what kills you, you have to pay the retailer for the meta paint type can, the inner bottle which must also be bagged and then just the actual extra cost of shipping a hazmat item. ....hell when i bought my cesium from alfa the shipping cost more then the actual 1 gram ampule and BTW im not trying to start an ardment....im just curious r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 meh, i just looked up sigma aldrich. you can usually find hobby suppliers that will supply the chemicals at a similar price except on stuff that requires stuff like low temperature storage and what not.
