Brass Worth?

[Hunterdad]

I was given over 1,650 mixed pieces of .38 special brass over the weekend. The guy i got them from said its all once fired. I really have no use for it, so I'd thought I'd sell it. They aren't cleaned and the spent primers are present. Any ideas what they're worth? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Probably about $60.

Clean it up and you might get $180 for it: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=339414867

Cleaned and polished once fired 38 brass goes for about 6.5¢ - 11¢ per shell.

$180? good luck....might find an idiot.
I can log online right now and pay $60/1k without looking, from a website that has it in stock, for once fired, cleaned, deprimed, and resized .38 spcl brass.
I can usually find it for less via online auctions anyways. I try not to pay more than $50/1k total.

I pay 6-8 cents per. I wouldn't pay more than that.

I think five cents a piece is reasonable or sell it for scrap if you want the money quickly. In my area I can get $2.00 a pound for it. Your choice.

I'll probably just ask an even $100 and see if there's any takers.

5 cents each or less for pistol brass.

I sell it for a nickle apiece shipped in 3000 pc lots.
