One black market operator in Alabama bought at $6 a keg all the nails he could find in small town hardware stores and shipped them to Miami, where they xeportedly brought $50 a keg. Albuquerque's black market price is $20 a keg. A Pittsburgh supplier was approached by New York operator with an offer of nails at $9.80 a keg. The supply came from government surplus sales, the agent said.
