Sell them to someone with a mini-mill that needs new bearings.
I also ordered a bearing puller / installer set for the mini-lathe too. Since I can't get into my shop for awhile to access my big lathe and shop press, at least I will be able to work on the mini-lathe bearings & gears upstairs to keep me occupied in the mean time.
(Micro-Mark tools if anyone is interested.)

Thanks for the tip. I ordered the bearing puller also. They're on closeout sale now so it was good timing.

That is what I believed too - at first. But when you actually look at their close out list, the puller set isn't in there - so it's probably the regular price, and they added in the "closeout" line as marketing BS.
What really ticked me off though is that they wouldn't give me the 10% off code because I don't have a cell phone, and therefore no cell number for them to spam.

Hmm, they didn't ask me for a cell phone number.

Did you click on the 10% off box on the main page? You get a couple of pop-ups to fill out in order to get the code via a cell phone text.

I tried putting in my home phone number but it wouldn't accept it.
Non-cell phone discrimination!
They are already bombarding my email with ads. But if they can't hit BOTH your email and your cell phone
too, I guess you aren't worthy of their 10% off.

No, I didn't and now I'm glad I didn't even notice it.

Wishing I didn't notice it now.
