Any fishers?
So I find weights out diving and they do me no good as I don't fish..anyways just sold them for $20..all are used some in not the best shape but others in great shape.

What are these worth?, I asked for $16.50 but they guy is giving me $20 so they must be worth more then my asking price... And looking at store prices there hella expensive..but these aren't new. So what is a fair price to ask in the future?

I feel like I could have made a bit more but meh they didn't cost me anything...but still

Scrap lead goes for about $1 per pound, so I'd say you did well

Charge .75 on the dollar vs store price
They don't go bad

Most store-bought sinkers are pure lead, or at least soft enough for casting for BP rifles.

I would have paid you $20 for that box.

Then I'd sort out what I thought I might use (I fish too), and cast the rest into .490 rounds balls.

If the dude holding a fish is a fisherman, wouldn't the dude holding a fisher be a fishererman?

I worked in a tackle shop in mid-90s that had a rack full of assorted sinkers.  Some of the big ones were a couple bucks.   You might have $40 worth at today's prices.

You'd be surprised how expensive they get. If you have a tackle store nearby just go look at some prices. Now, if you come across any jigs snatch those up. You can sell those for a nice little profit.

A lot of us will save them up, and melt them to pour jigs with.  Lead is pricey, to the point where some of us make friends with tire shops, so we can scrounge wheel weights, I save lead flashing from demo jobs, I even know a guy who took a cordless sawzall out to a grounded abandoned sailboat, and cut out a big section of the lead from the keel. If I were you, I'd fill a 55 gallon drum, then put it up on craigslist.

I think you did pretty good if you put them up on Craigslist.  When I have the misfortune to have to sell something on there, I price it to move fast so that I can sell it and get on with life, and not have to dicker with half-wits.

I think the guy with a fish should be a fishman.

I know I was looking at the prices at Cabelas and for like 6 of the 5oz it's about $12 So with my 15 or so 5oz that's $36...shit.
Jigs as in for melting the weights and recasting?
