Any use for old torque converters

[OhioC5]

I've been cleaning out my garage and selling stuff I'll most likely never use. My wife and I are thinking about moving in the spring. I have 3 torque converters taking up space. Two are from A4 transmissions that came in F-bodies and the original from my GN. I'm not trying to sell them here, just wondering if anyone in general would have a use for these or should they just go the curb. There's a guy that will come by and pick up anything metal you put on the curb. I don't think I've read a thread where someone is looking for a factory converter.

Someone may want one for a restall. I would guess you're probably limited locally as to who would buy them, and trust me shipping ain't cheap for one of these heavy beasts. I'm sure someone out there wants one. What about Craigslist?

The other night I decided to list a few things on craigslist for the first time. Seems like there's always someone trying to steal or scam. I've been getting these e-mails:

Here's the first one:

Thanks for the prompt response to my text and reference to your post am completely satisfied with it, I will be buying this from you, so please kindly withdraw the advert from C.LIST. My husband will be overnight the payment asap but he will be paying with a certified check from his Bank and it will deliver to you via USPS , so I'll need you to provide me with the following information to facilitate the mailing of the check... And am offering additional $50 with the original price to have this asap.

Name to be on the payment:
Your Full Address to mail the Payment:
Cell phone # to contact you :
And the Final Asking price:

I will make the pick up arrangements as soon as you have the check clear. Am not be able to come with the cash and pick it up my self due to my work frame and my Kids, but my husband will mail the check out as soon as i have the information and the payment will be deliver within 24hours..

Thanks and God Bless

Here's the second one:

Hi.
I just viewed your advert posted. I will be glad to meet you tomorrow to look at it between 11:30-7:30pm. I work nights at my shift starts at 7:30 pm. Wednesday is my off day and I can come around then check it out on Wednesday anytime after 11:30am, i have to pick somebody up from the airport at 9:45am. Could you possibly show it to me tomorrow? Let me know what time i can come to take a look it, i want to be sure if it's still in great condition before i purchase it and i'm ready to pay in cash...You can email me here @ XXXX@XXX Let me know. Thanks!

This is such a blanket e-mail they don't even have the courtesy to tell me what they're trying to steal!

You know, if I was approached by someone down on their luck I would give them stuff. No need to try to steal from me. I gave a kid a set tires one time I was selling because I could tell he needed them.

Check with vince at janis transmissions, I think your pretty close to them. He may take them off you.

That's a good idea, didn't even think about Vince. He did my transmission awhile back too.
