Vendors do buy rods to repour and sell. You may have a bit of money in that pile!

I see several of the earlier heavier rods, but mostly they look like the later lighter rods. Are the bearings mostly good or mostly bad? I see one heavier rod with a chunk out of the bearing edge. Looks like quite a few good original crank end bolts also. Not many wrist-pin bolts however.
My guess would be around 120 rods in the pile.

I have collected rods for 18 years. Kep has it correct makes it easier to pore a balanced set.
John , I have invested a good bit of money in Rods probably average $5-6 dollars per rod with cap.
Some cores end up being unusable. Many caps are filed beyond use.

Dean -- Just put in a double stack of shims with those filed caps. :-)
