[QUOTE="D+1, post: 1447759, member: 13654"] Got you good and paranoid now eh? I'm no MD, but I think it's safe to say that painting them and playing D&D with lead miniatures will not be any more likely to give you brain damage than failing to wash your hands after using the restroom will send you into the hospital. Don't suck on your lead minis, or melt them down and lean over to inhale the fumes repeatedly and at length, or give them to small children to play with and chances are EXCELLENT you and your lead minis will life long and prosper. This is not to say that there is no danger from lead but lets be reasonable. People die and are maimed in car crashes but we don't seal ourselves into our cars with Safe-T-Fome!, we just buckle our seatbelts. If you are so concerned about your minis that you'll make sure to wash your hands after every game and still don't want them around anymore then surely they are too DANGEROUS to sell. It would be immoral to simply pass on hazardous materials to a possibly ignorant purchaser. I hereby offer myself as a disposal agent for ALL unwanted lead minis. Just send 'em to me and I'll take care of them. I confess that I will keep the best of them for use myself but I can probably sell the bulk lead to a non-ferrous metals dealer somewhere for a few cents to finance my uncontrolled plasticrack habit.
