I thought it was a dumb idea at first but it worked.
I got 2 five gallon buckets of weights, it turns out almost 2/3 of a bucket was Fe wheel weights. I sorted them out and was looking at them, and thought what a waste. So I got the bright Idea of cleaning them up and seeing if I could sell or swap back to tire shops. Tire shops like buying cheap weights and selling for the price of new ones. They even trade their old buckets of used weights for them.
It is good PR and seems to work better than just walking in and trying to buy weights.
