    Boy! The chemistry in this thread just escapes me. 

    but my 2c worth

    I'd wonder why this guy who apparently knows enough to process the
    silver somewhat, is willing to sell to you when he could scrap the
    stuff himself. I'd also wonder how much of a discount from market
    price I would need considering the risks and costs involved. 

    Risk...it may not be silver at all or some lower count silver. This
    was, after all, some guy in his garage melting stuff. 

    Cost...It should be refined before you can use it or you risk(hehe)
    inferior product after whatever labor (more cost) you supplied. Do
    you want to specula te that the metal is good enough as is? This
    was, after all, some guy in his garage melting stuff.
