    Price check on various brass

    I know these posts can be annoying so sorry in advance. I have some brass to see and would like to get a fair price for it. So with that said how much per round uncleaned prior to shipping is acceptable. Even if someone else has commented feel free to list your price checks. Keep in mind alot of this is uncommon to down right rare:

    6mm
    6mm BR
    22-250
    25-06
    308 commercial
    280
    243 WSSM
    223 WSSM
    270 WSSM
    41 AE
    9x21 (largo)
    30-30
    10mm auto
    30-06 match LC or FA
    44 special
    44 mag
    45 colt
    454 cap
    38 super
    357 mag
    357 sig
    30 carbine

    General rule that I have seen is used brass goes for about half what new brass would go for a a little less sometimes and sometimes a little more.
    So if I can buy new brass at .34 cents each used would go for .17 cents each.
    Now if you are not going to clean it then you would want to drop the price in my example down to around .13 cents each
    hope this helps
    this is what I have been finding when I was looking for brass. If you buy a thousand or more the price goes down to around .11 each right now, but I have gotten some that was .09 cents each too.Another thing to keep in mind is the price of brass and just what is available on the open market.

    What shdwlkr said. Real common brass like 9mm or 40 goes for cheaper and hrder to come by brass like 44so or 45lc goes for more.

    I 2nd what mooman76 said. However, I did buy some 357 sig brass from sothern belle brass for like $32 per 1000. Other people are charging lots more. From what they told me local LE uses 357 sig and they get all their brass so thats why they get it so cheap.

    since i make my living selling brass, i'll comment,

    rifle brass must be once fired or there is no realistic price.

    low prssure rounds in pistol , once fired is not a big deal...38 spcl. 380, 45acp

    high pressure pistol should be once fired.

    once you have gotten that far.......

    cleaned and polished........

    i sell at aprox 50% of WHOLESALE.....some more(45 colt) some less 40 sw, 357 sig...

    i go as low as 1/3 wholsale on common stuff...again supply and demand set the price.


    not cleaned and polished...drop the price, not once fired...scrap the brass/sell it at scrap prices.

    i don't sell by the pound, i sell by count...50/100/500........



    if you have POUNDS of each of the above and its once fired....pm me....

    not on 9mm. no on 40sw/ not on 38spcl
    ps...9 largo is not the same as 9x21
    only accurate rifles are interesting
