Just kidding.
Tell you what, Gary. There's 221 existing spindles and they weigh about 1.5# or a little better each so I figure that I might get about $0.75 each for the galvanized pieces if I'm really lucky, less fuel to take them to the scrap yard ($20) so I might net $145 for them. The new ones are $3.50 to $6 each, depending on how fancy you want them, so I'll drop $775 to $1350 for new material. If you want to make me a deal on the old ones that keeps me whole send me a check and I'll stack 'em up by a tree for you till your next trip to Kansas - they won't rust!

Don't think it did not cross my mind to toss them, but I'm just too cheap!
