a few months ago, I stumbled upon a website that bought brass, both useable and unusable. I cant find it anymore :banghead: I have unusable brass that cant be reloaded that I want to get rid of. When I was on their site I think it was a $5 discount for their items for each pound of brass. Any ideas?

I've heard of people selling it at a scrap yard as brass if it was deprimed, but I don't know what brass prices are like but $5 a pound might be a good bit better than what scrap yards would pay. I haven't heard of the website but it sounds like a good deal

$1.90-$1.95 a # here in Oregon. $5 a # would be nice :)

D 51208--IMHO, a $5 discount is very much not the same thing as cash in hand. And, you have to spend money at the website in question to get the discount, where they may or may not have merchandise you want--or perhaps could get cheaper elsewhere. And I bet they'll have a minimum you have to spend for each $5 discount. And, who pays for the shipping of the brass--if you do it'll cut into your profit. Likewise the shipping of whatever you buy there.

Oh, and there's the hassle of boxing up the brass securely for shipping, and taking it to FedEx or wherever.

My unusable brass goes to a local scrap yard, along with the beverage cans, car batteries, and miscellaneous other recyclable metals. They pay me nice green cash money for the stuff, that can be spend anywhere I choose.

When and if you find that website, I'd look long and hard at the restrictions they have, before considering whether to do business with it, were I you.

My Too-Good-To-Be-True meter is pegged in the red on this one.

Man I hope I don't have to deprime them to bring them to a yard :p Ill have to buy a universal deprimer!

I cant find the website, but I suppose it is too good to be true. I'm assuming you would have to ship it yourself, so it must not be that great after paying for that!

I'll look into the yard option, I hate having stuff needlessly goto waste. About how much are you getting per soda pop can?

Can you drop .22LR off at the scrap yard? :O

I don't deprime before I take them to the yard. Not all yards will take them though. They don't want to deal with the hassle since the brass can not leave the country. It all depends on who is buying the metal from the yard.

awesome, I'm no metallurgist, is .22LR brass?

Ok cool, Ill have to do some calling around then. I know there is some once fired brass in there I had no use for, Ill post a topic about it here in a minute to see if anyone wants it.

Most of it is not useable. Cracked, bent, shot and reloaded too much, squished, crunched, sawed in half..etc.

Buys brass back? 5% Discount? Have to buy from their site?
Isn't that Top-Brass?

TopBrass will give you $2/lb store credit for yellow brass. No nickel, no steel, no 22 rimfire. You pay shipping.

3 weeks ago I sold 743 pounds of range found shell brass @ 1.55 a pound, 12 five gallon buckets. That was 11 months of pickin up brass from a range 5 miles from my house. Last year I sold 4 buckets @ 1.70.

My local scrap yard is paying $1.98/lb.
I don't have to deprime.
They also are accepting spent primers as part of the brass.
So anything I DO deprime for reloading, the spent primers are also sent to the scrap yard.
