Marketing once fired brass ???

[Alan]

We have a area a couple of miles away which is a local unofficial shooting range. For the past few years a would grab a couple of cold "cokes" and go out and pick up brass. When the scrap price was $1.75 to $1.80 it was nice pocket change, now not so much.

I have many pounds of brass in good shape and thinking I should sell it for bigger change. Craigslist won't post it, same for EBay...... Any suggestions how to market it?

Thanks

We have a local paper called the trading post you can sell anything in it. It also has an online site. You may want to see if there's something like that around.

But there is already a lot of it for sale. Range officers pick it up and sell it by the thousand for $20.

Gun shop here sells it in plastic bags by the 50. Don't know where he gets it but I'm sure he's got someone who sells it to him. Might try something like that. BTW - whatcha got?

Face book buy sell groups for your area

You can also put in in a bucket or box and advertise that for sale and just say contents included

Thanks to all for the replies, $20 per thousand for clean brass is about right and not worth if for me to go the trouble of separating and marketing. I'll hang on to and hope the dirty brass prices increase.

Out in the woods with a cold "coke" in my hand the most brass I find is by far 9mm and .223. Lots of .22 but I won't make the effort to pic those up, although I do pick up the .22 rounds the drunks drop while loading their guns, I'll find maybe 20 a trip. Next is most is 45 acp then just some 30-06, 30-30, .40, etc.

Take it to a gunshow and sit outfront with it. Stick a sign in a bucket and you would be surprised what you cansell that way

Just curious, how do you know it's "once-fired"?
