Do you think there is anyway to get some money out of all the holiday tins that are aquired in a season or two?

You would expend more money in gas by taking
them for recycle in scrap value.
Some people collect tins.
Save for a few years then sell as collectable.
Have seen old ammo box's and tins sell for
booo-kooo bucks on ebay as well as old mobil-oil
products signs,tins and other memorabilia.

Yes, those tins are mostly steel, so scrap value would be low. Also, since they're hollow, they take up a lot of space!
As for myself, I do keep a few around as storage containers. I'm looking for one large enough to put my Icom 735 shortwave transciever in. . . just in case of EMP attack.

Hey Metalophile what are the dimentions of the box you
would need ?
So all of us can keep an eye out for one you
could use.

I'll think about posting under WTSHTF. Don't have time today, though . . .

My shortwave ham transciever is 11 1/2" x 9 1/2" x 4 1/2". Too big to fit into a standard sized popcorn tin, at least the sized tin most stores were selling last year. Right now I'm just storing it in a metal file cabinet when not in use (which is most of the time).

What does EMP do just short out the battery or would it cause the whole thing not to work? Storing batteries in these tins...in the spare fridge sounds like a pretty ingenious idea actually...
