possibly you could post a craigslist ad in the barter section...

Or,you could melt them all and pour them over again,lol.Try to trade some sinkers for a differant mold,on craigslist in the sporting goods section.Broaden your horizons.
If those are pure lead, I would be interested in speaking with you. They will easily fit in a small flat rate box or a medium flat rate box. Send me an IM with your e-mail and I might be able to swap jigs with you or buy the weight for the lead content.

Time to start pouring some jigs. Or just send me your lead since you no longer need it.

I want to keep my lead, just want to get more lead. These sinkers are not made from pure lead. The only way I would get rid of these sinkers is to trade all of theses sinkers for 85lbs of lead.

I was joking earlier. This "hobby" is addictive and no matter how much we have we still want more. I have more jigs than I'll use in several lifetimes but that hasn't stopped me from pouring.

That's all you got!!!!LOL We all have that problem not only with sinkers, but jigs, hooks, tying materials you name it!!!!
Check local tackle stores and offer to sell them as a one time sell or as others have suggested post the ad on Craigslist or check local fishing clubs although that one might be tough as most in clubs pour also.

Hope you have it all sorted by type - nothing worse than grabbing the wrong one for what you're wanting to do. I have a couple of Rubbermaid containers with good lids and I write Pure on one and Tire Weight on the other. My mix of 2 parts hard and 1 part pure goes in my 2 Maxwell house plastic containers.

My sinkers are sorted. I even use a different alloy for my eggs, my worm rigs, and my bank sinkers so that way I will know if I want to remelt them, they won't get mixed up and have a messed up alloy.
