Is it worth it?

[wstoldt]

And the brass is worth scrap value if it is not reloadable (damaged or rimfire). So save that until there is enough for a trip to the recyclers. FWIW if you want to deprime it for a price might as well set up a press and get the sizing die for each caliber (Lee is the cheapest and will sell individual dies) and offer it sized and deprimed while you are at it. That would more likely be worth it to me rather than just deprimed. If you are going to put an effort into a pull of the handle on a press you should add more value to it. Just MHO

The trading post here will be a good place to sell some brass so don't forget us on this forum if you decide to ship your brass.

Thank you for the advice. I thought of doing that also to make it more appealing to some customer base. Is the fastest way to do this one die and one brass case?

Bill ...

If you think about it ... People that are looking to buy used brass on the internet are also looking to buy at the cheapest price they can find.

Most of these people could care less if it's deprimed or not, or if it's been cleaned or not.

You start charging extra for cleaning, depriming, and whatever else you may be considering, and you will need to raise the price above what most of us "cheapskates" are willing to pay for used brass. And then you will have no customers!

Again ... bottom line ... Sell brass that has the same size primers, and don't sell brass that is all bent up ... That's all you need to do.

Figure in the $11 and change for the USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Box shipping, and advertise "Free Shipping" to anywhere in the lower 48.

Don't know about other calibers, but you can advertise 2,000 .45ACP brass for $100 bucks (5 cents per piece) to the door. I think you will make money with that.

P.S. I don't think you even need to separate this stuff by headstamp ... These guys that are looking for used brass are more than likely not very worried about who the manufacturer of the case was ... as long as it's not Russian steel cases, and they can clean it up good once they get it from you.

They want used brass that's cheap, but certainly reloadable ... They don't want to throw out half the brass they buy from you.

Just my opinion.

I like to buy once fired because of the savings. I don't care if it's got a little dirt on it and primers still in it. As long as it's CHEAP and NOT CRUSHED I'm a buyer! Seperating headstamps would allow you to hike the price a little but personally If I'm loading for plinking I could care less who made the brass. The stuff I load for accuracy/hunting I buy new brass for so I'm 100% on what it's been through during it's life span so to speak. With all that being said PM me with info on how to buy some of your fine once fired CHEAP, DIRTY and UNPRIMED BRASS.

When I see an add for used brass that is bright, shiney, and clean, I wonder where that stuff came from that it needed to be cleaned up . Nowadays a person can make trash cases look "new", so I wouldn't buy that stuff.
