These are strays and outcasts destined, as far as I know now, for the melting pot.  (They are too heavy to move around, let alone lift into the rear of an SUV).

I'm agreeable, but let's agree on a per pound price first, and there is a 100 pound minimum!

I believe the first steps involve  locating and catching an elephant that wants to be eaten.

Bus,
If you are really going to send them to the melting pot, how about selling them by the pound? Or try $20 for a mystery Large priority box + $12.50 postage.  I'll bet that if you donated a pile to Tooltalk for the weekly wrench giveaway, Dispatcher Papaw could finagle a way to get them to Texas. We all know how the stash can get out of hand and especially in your case. People with OCWCD should not come in contact with large quantities of free or near free wrenches. Just remember, friends don't let friends scrap wrenches.

Methinks Wrenchmench is an awfull tease. He can't scrap an old wrench anymore than the rest of us can, because it just *might* not be what he thinks, and therefore it just *might* be the rare special one.... ;P

Rusty:

Truth is these wrenches have been "judged, and found wanting".  My problem is inertial, or so I say to myself.

I'd just as soon give up a body part as take my wrenches to a scrap dealer. BTW just the handle end nuts on some of those monkey wrenches will cost $30 or so if one of the tool restorers has to make one.

Are any, or all, of them for sale?

YES, I agree.  The ask was designed to "stop it".  Having tackled much more logistically complex problems in life I feel good saying I will give them a home, or find them one.....no expense to wrenchmensch
