    Default .233 brass prices?

    I have a bunch of .223 brass, and just want to know how much I should ask for it. They are all once fired pmc and American eagle. Forgive me if I posted this in the wrong section. Thanks!

    The am eagle FC or LC head stamped? Do some searched for once fired brass. You might be surprised regarding what they are not going for.
    All sellers mention Once Fired, Hand sorted, inspected and polished. How much time in a day do you have?

    Here is the selling point

    • 100 % Boxer Primed, all reloadable Brass
    • Hand sorted and polished to a really nice shine
    • 500+ Count

    $64 per 1K

    Just a few places to get a base line.

    Probably about a nickel to dime apiece, that's pretty common brass. Lots of it available on the gun boards. The more obscure the caliber, the better the value. Like .303 British and 7.62x54R that's reloadable is more desireable than .30-06 because it's harder to find, and 7.5x55 Swiss and other oddballs are worth even more, probably .25-.35 each, maybe more.

    Stuff like 9mm Luger and .40 S&W, that stuff's as common as gravel. But I'll still pick the shit up, even though I have buckets of them.

    Put them on gunbroker. youll get market for them. ship them in priority mail flat rate boxes. youll get more if you sort headstamps.. Jim is spot on on the selling point! brass is insane right now you will be suprised. i assume you have enough to sell in 500 or 1000 piece quanities. Better yet buy a dillon and fill them up yourself!

    This is my suggestion, OR consider something i have suggested and started in this area, a reloading co-op. It is more cost efficient to find someone in your area that has a reloader, any reloader and buy your dies, powder, then work out something that benefits both parties.
    Winter is coming, what better way to spend it (other than with family) by reloading

    Save brass now, down the road it will be worth much more, either selling or reloading it.
