Brass

[cajuncutter]

I have a 28-30 quart icechest full of brass. It is a hodgepodge of brass (38, 357, 9mm, 40, 45, and some .223). I do not want to dump it out and sort it. It is range pick up and I had grand plans of fooling with this stuff back when I got into the group buy for all the reloading stuff but I just do not have the time nor the supplies and not even a reloader. With that said any one know a fair asking price for this would be? I have no clue what dirty brass would go for and I need it off my floor in the shop.

Well damn, if only you weren't in shreveport

Yeah that will be the suck part. This thing is heavy..damn near can't pick it up. Shipping would kill the deal and at that I would feel more comfortable that the person that ends up with it see it before the actual transaction.

How much? I'll pick it up

I do not have a price that is why I started the thread. I have no idea what a fair price would be. I just want to get rid of it and use the funds to get a i phone...my work out some worK of trade.

9mm goes for 20$ sorted
45 goes for $55 sorted
.223 goes for *I think* $60 sorted

These are all per 1000 pieces.

Not many people sell big buckets of mixed brass. But I wouldn't think you'd get too much given whoever buys it is gonna have to sort it. Ie. you can't charge anywhere near a sorted price or else people will get it that way for convenience. Maybe like $50-$60 for what you got.

Thanks! I have a bunch of 223 already sorted out and tumbled. Also have a bunch of 45 but may hang on to that. Also have a bunch of 300 WBY mag and no longer have the gun so will dump that as well. I guess what I will do is take pictures of the chest and put a figure on it and get talked down. I will sleep on it. Thanks for the help.

If you can take the time to sort them out, then you'd do much better as far as making money on it.

Those prices are not tumbled. Tumbled usually adds $5 per 1000

Call a couple of ranges and ask them what they get for their range brass. Perhaps they'll give you a couple bucks for the brass.

There is roughly 5000 pieces of forty brass in a five gallon bucket. I'm not sure how you could compare the volume of your ice chest and a five gallon bucket, but it may give you an idea of what you have.

Good Luck.

b uddy funny you brought that up because I had them in a 5 gallon bucket and was over flowing so I moved them to icechest.
