    Anyone got any ideas what to do with 48 quarts of 20W oil. A friend of mine gave it to me when my engine was leaking like no other but i fixed that so i dont need some old cans of 20W.

    I cant find a date on any of them What do you think would be a good asking price and would there be any problems shipping them? If anyone is interested in buying one or several pm me

    If you sell at swap meets... put out only about 6-8 cans at a time ... $4 a can. This is assuming that you are there selling other stuff too ... this kind of thing can help pay the space rent on a slow day. I do the same thing with old magazines.

    I would bet some folks would buy them 1 can at a time just to decorate their garage. :yup:

    Another thought would be if you sell them on eBay, to alert automotive themed restaurants like Quaker Steak, auto museums, and other places that might display "automobilia", and direct them to your auctions. Might push the demand for them a bit ... ;)

    I agree. Ebay, swap meet, or something like that. Those look like collectables.

    WHAT? :rofl2:

    You'll need atleast four BUCKETS full for that to be fun. :bouncy: No one here has ever done that before. :biglaugh:
