Only rows with a payout percentage.Why a basket is more honest than one blended rate
A mixed lot can contain precious metals priced per troy ounce, scrap priced per pound, and primary aluminum quoted per metric tonne. MeltOffer converts every weight to grams, applies the selected content factor and that metal's own price basis, then adds dollars only after each row is calculated.
Frequently asked questions
Can I total different metals in one calculation?
Yes. Each item keeps its own metal, weight unit, grade or purity, market price, and optional buyer payout percentage before the basket adds the dollar totals.
Does the mixed-metal basket save my items?
It does not use cookies or local storage. Use Copy share link to encode the current rows in the URL, or export a CSV for your own records.
How should I compare buyer quotes for a mixed lot?
Enter each quoted payout percentage only when it applies to that exact item and terms. Compare the total dollars, fees, shipping, insurance, returns, and any items excluded from the quote.
Can I export or print the calculation?
Yes. The browser can download the current rows as CSV or print a clean summary without navigation and controls.
