I typically see it selling in ingots (cleaned) for between $1.50 and $2.00 per lb. I try to buy for $0.50 or so, always less than $1.00 whenever I see it. I have a bunch of folks keeping an eye out for me so I have gotten some good deals. Picked up 200lbs at an estate sale for $50. I was not there or would have offered more. A buddy was and messaged me, "thought" maybe 75lbs or so, so I said offer $50. When I got it all home and weighed it, it was over 200lbs, though some was zinc and some was brass (lead pipe all painted, likely will old lead paint too!).
