Check this empty .303 brass an Aussie had on EBay. His comments are hilarious.

 

[Amish_Bill]

He's been through several iterations of that auction. eBay started getting really cranky with him when he started posting copies of their email exchanges as part of the auction description... ;-)

I have captures of some of those pages... I'll have to get them posted somewhere.

This has been discussed over in the Roundtable.

Bumping to the top - this is incredibly funny, esp. knowing that this poor guy must have had multiple fits trying to explain the (utterly simple) concept of empty, de-primed brass to the idiots at Ebay. One can just imagine....

It seems like he must be a Monty Python fan.

This bugger owes me a new keyboard!!!

... and a cup of coffee!!!!


ROTFLMAO!!!!!!

 

[Stebalo]

That guy certainly has a good sense of humor, but I find it sad. This is the world we now live in.

I believe the seller is located in Australia, not the USA.

I think you're right about Monty Python. This guy is a hoot.

71 bucks American for empty brass?! I gotta get in on that action.

 

[bean357]

Looks like his hilarious saga might actually come to an end this time! The ebay police haven't ended this one. I wish I would have saved all the Q/A off his original auction-that was another gas!

But that's not just any fired brass. That's world-famous!!! fired brass.

[ZeroX]

That may be so but I have the very same brass recovered from Hitler's secret bunker following his suicide. Buy now for three easy payments of $33.33 and receive a wood chip from the rifle Castro used to kill JFK as a free gift!

 

[abaddon]

This guy's great! Does anyone know how to make those

little tiny torches that run on AAA batteries

that he talked about?

 

[Bigfoot]

Torch is the Brit and Ausie term for flashlight.

 

[abaddon]

Yeah, i stayed in England for four months and remembered that terminology. I still couldn't figure out how one could make a flashlight with a shell casing.
