New Years Eve Sale!



Pre-creeping crud I trolled craigslist and bought several dead guy collections. Time to divest myself of some of it before my daughter is selling my dead guy collection.

Calling it 230 pieces of 30-30 brass but I think it is closer to 250. Mixed head stamp, some once fired, some a couple of firings, I think. Appears ~½ Winchester a large chunk of R-P, then Federal and maybe some Hornady. $85.00 shipped. SPF, no PM yet........PM received and responded to. It be gone.

About 500 pieces by weight of 380 Auto, mixed head stamp, range finds. A few 9mm, 9 MAK mixed in. Guess less than 5%. $45 shipped. Now $40! Let's try $35.00. SPF!!!

.41 caliber bullets. ~200 Speer 200 grain hollow points, half jacket, flat point semi-wad cutter hollow point is my best description. There’s no part number on the box. 40 years old? Plastic boxes that have been opened. They look full but I’m not going to count them! Nice shape, no oxidation.

~100 pcs. Hornady 210 grain hollow points, ¾ jacket with cannulure. Cardboard box, not part number. Again, old but in very good shape.

~35 pcs. Hornady #41000, 210 grain XTP bullets. Lot of ~335 41 caliber bullets, $100 shipped. SPF with PM woohoo! Waiting on payment. With the holidays that kinda to be expected. They left several days ago.

NEW! Lyman 54 Caliber minie hollow base mold #542655cw on the mold, #5654222 on the box. VERY light rust on part of the exterior, I rubbed most off with my thumb, none on the mold interior that I saw. It appears unused. $85 shipped. Now $75!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now $55.00. SPF!

Nicely made aluminum mold, single cavity. It's been anodized black. Vent lines on one block but not the other. Round steel alignment pins. I haven't tried to figure out which handles it will fit.
Stamped: MA 54, M 4891 No other markings. It appears to be a Maxiball style boolit in approximately a 54 caliber guessing eyeball/crude measurement with a caliper. Asked on here about it. The consensus was it's a T/C mold. It certainly looks like a Thompson Center mold but no guarantees. Close to new. $60 shipped. Now $40!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hammer scope, this came with a Savage 110 I bought a couple of weeks ago, don’t have a need for it.

Description shamelessly stolen right from their website:
3-9X40GDR offers dynamic 3x-9x variable power range and features a blue and red lighted sniper style reticle. 3 intensity settings for each color. Large light-gathering multi-coated 40mm objective lens. 2 1/2" eye relief. Finger-tight 1/4minute click windage/elevation adjustment. Fogproof, waterproof and shockproof, rugged aluminum alloy body with rubber armor protection. Weaver style rings and flip lens covers included. Overall scope length: 13inches
$60 new, it’s in like new condition. $35 shipped. SPF!

Description says flip covers, I don’t remember if it has them. I’ll check. If I can remember. Does have rings.

Either 700 or 900 pieces of 9mm range find. I was given a bottle with either 700 or 900 pieces written on the top, I'll confirm and price in a little bit after I put my shoes on and wander out to the shed. It's going to be 5 cents plus shipping.

Looks like my handwriting on the top of the bottle showing 700. With my guesstimate abilities lets figure 650 to be safe, $32.5+the post office, call it $45 shipped. Now $25. What a deal.

Time to spend that Christmas money. Print out a description of what you bought, put it under the tree then thank your wife/husband/significant other/kid/dog/cat/support peacock for being so considerate:bigsmyl2:

Venmo, Paypal+3%, Money Order, Face-to-Face in SE Michigan, NW Ohio is possible. PM please after claiming please.

Need to reduce the floor loading in the shop.

Sort of a PM on the 30-30, got around to weighing them, looks closer to 270 if my 'rithmatic is right(no odds on that). Shudda asked more. What a deal.

Still got stuff.

Spend that Christmas money, I know it's just burning a hole in your pocket.

Offical PM on the 30-30, interest in the T/C 54 caliber mold has faded for the time being. Waiting on payment for the 41 bullets.

But there's still stuff left.

Looks like 380 is a done deal.

New and improved prices. I need money to waste on things that I learned in a mis-spent youth.

And I was a very good student back then, at least when I wasn't in school, then not so good.

Please post pictures of the molds. I can’t trace the numbers you have posted. Interested, but don’t know what the size and shape is???

Thanks,

I'll try, new phone and new computer have made what was almost a no brainer to upload has turned into a complicated operation.

New software is not always better software.

Sort of got the routine figured out for posting photos again. Flag on phone was off for sending with an email. About 5 steps instead of a single double click to start the download from the email to my computer.

"But the software has SO many new options, you'll just LOVE IT".

NO I DON'T. Rant over, still a big fan of KISS.

Lyman 54 caliber hollow base Maxi-ball.

What appears to be a Thompson Center Maxi-ball, 54 caliber. From descriptions on this website and photos and descriptions of molds on the auction site that shall not be named, if it were a duck it would be quacking it's head off:

Now all I have to do is find the 380 brass so I can ship it. Did some cleaning and putting stuff away. May have done some of it too well.

Or it's sitting right on the bench where I left it and I can't see it.

But I still have boolit molds for sale.

Lyman is going out of here, only the T/C left. It feels like an orphan. Won't you give it a nice warm home? Right there next to the casting pot.

And I lied, there's still 9mm brass to be had. Can't go much lower, shipping costs have not gone down.

Approaching time to haul them to the scrapyard.

Scrap brass money is still beer money.

Got a taker on the T/C mold.

Just 9mm brass left.

Anybody?

Hello?

Sounds like it's going to be recycled into brass monkey balls.

So sad.

One more time to the top then it's brass monkey balls time.

I lied, ONE more time to the top @25. At this point it is break even whether it gets turned in brass money balls or lives to shoot another day.

Your choice if you save this brass a fate worse than death.

Actually weighed the 9mm, it's worth more as scrap than selling it here.

So, brass monkey balls it is.

Thread be done.

Thanks to all that helped me dig down through the first of many layers.
