Hey Fellas
Well here's my story.... Had/have a bunch of 223/5.56 once fired mix headstamp nice but nothing to write home about, so I figure I will never use all I have so I post it on the Gunbroker, starting price .01 yes 1 cent. Just got home from the range checked my e-mail $256.00 for the lot plus shipping $15.00. told the guy I'll pay the shipping awful big of me huh. Oh yeah 7.62x39 O/F F.C. 100ea Started at one cent $77.00 shipped.
Am I missing something? should I be keeping this stuff? Is it really that bad ?
Are we never to see the shelfs with ammo and reloading supplys again.
Are the day's of the ground being littered with brass gone?
And you know as of late I no longer feel like a brass rat I'm the smartest guy I know. (at this moment)
I know we are going through a shortage/panic what ever, Maybe I'm just not feeling it being all stocked up on supply's. I would be embarrassed and shamed to ask even half these prices but I guess if they are willing to bid them up.
I guess I can buy some over priced supply's that I don't need as of now or keep shooting Black Powder and cast boolits and buy a new used toy.
 
Doesn't sound like you are gouging them as you started it at $.01. Good for you. I think it is all of the people out there getting into reloading because of the ammo supply.
 
im headed back out to my local gun club to pick up brass,,I have always picked up brass,,I been seen going into the dumpsters picking brass out.? I can,t help my self..
 
Remmag hit the nail on the head.

However, I would like to add I have plenty of .223 brass and would discount it $50/1000. ;)
