WTS: Sorted Clip on Wheel Weights.

Need to fund a new computer so I'm going to break a rule of mine and sell some of my stash.

I've been sorting buckets of wheel weights again and would like to sell a bunch of Clip On Wheel Weights. I sort using a pair of side cutters checking each individual weight.

It looks like the going rate right now is a dollar a pound plus shipping. My boxing is using a medium flat rate box lined with particle boards (osb) that are nailed together. I tried to do a large box but it was too much for me and my bad heart to deal with. Also, it was so heavy I don't see how it could survive shipping. Anyhow, I'm able to get a bit more than 40 pounds in a box all boarded up. Soooo, I'm thinking 54 bucks (by USPS Money Order) for a box with a tracking.

I can post up some pictures. And probably will later this evening. So please shoot me a PM if your interested in some lead. Heck, you can bump the thread too if your interested!

How many 40 pound boxes are ya talking about?
I've got three boxes ready so far, with about 10 more buckets to go through. Then there's a large 40 gallon trash can on the back of the shop that needs sorting. How many can I put you down for?

I'm good L1A, I just thought anyone interested would like to know. I've got about 800 pounds of WW all well fluxed and in 5 pound ingots.

Here's a picture of my first box.

Then it's capped with another peace of OSB and nailed down.

Like I said up thread, I'm looking to fund a new (gaming) computer. Hopefully I'll be able to sell enough to build a nice Ryzen 7. I've already sourced some used parts. Case - CoolerMaster HAF X blue edition; Power Supply - CollerMaster 1000W semi-modular; Motherboard - Asus ROG Hero 6 with the x370 chipset.

Sorry to ramble, hopefully my computer gaming itch can help get some good lead to folks that can make good use of it.

Thanks for looking.

A gaming computer? Let me guess, you and Ian are playing WOW?:)

OK,I'm an idjit.....what is a "gaming computer"?

It's a PC built with higher end parts and water cooling. The water cooling is needed for over clocking. Over clocking involves going into the bios and resetting the voltage and timing of the CPU, RAM, and GPU to make it all run faster. That generates MUCH more heat than can typically be dealt with using just case fans. So you need water cooling using radiators.

This photo shoes a radiator at the top, and the reservoir and pump combo at the right. You can see by the plumbing that the CPU and GPU (graphics card) are both being water cooled.

At large, whereabouts unknown.
Believe it or not, there's also a noticable increase in your electric bill to feed these monsters too. They can also heat a medium sized room.

Had a Cray YMP with liquid cooling years ago. Took 40Kw of power to run it, another 40Kw to cool it.

Fastest computer in the world in it's day, but probably around the same performance of the hotshot PC he is building.

L1, you have any WW left? How do I arrange payment? You can PM if that works better for you.
