I have purchased an "Olson Shear Pins for Your Outboard Motor" entire display from an old hardware store. It includes a hundred or so shear pins still in the package and obviously unused ... I haven't really counted them but the packages have 2 to 6 pins in each package. They have No. 20, 26, 30 and many more. They are not in the paper packages which I have seen on Ebay or other sites. They are in plastic packages and are so old that the package hanging part is brittle.

Does anyone know how to sell these?

I hope your not attempting to solicit

My suggestion would be to list them on ebay, or AOMCI.org

Not many buyers for those...most motors don't use them. I have an old 3HP outboard that I use 1/8 inch brass rod for shear pin....and I'll get many years out of one....

I think thats what most people do, any time I need one I just cut off a piece.
