9MM brass, is there a need

[Realtor]

I have a fair amount of once shot 9MM brass here from the past few years of shooting. is there need, or before I sit here and sort through it all, is there any trade value there? I have a great deal more than in this picture...

Photo looks like steel?

if it’s brass or nickel plated, definitely.

There's not a huge need unless there's some new reloaders out there wanting some. The issue is you can't find any primers, projectiles, and powders to reload them. If they were deprimed and tumbled, they'd be worth more. Once fired brass is going for about $0.075/rd on gun broker right now.

Hah. And range buddies laughed at me when I picked up 9mm brass during the “golden days”

One can never tell what the value will be for it. We do not know what is going to happen under the Biden regime relative to ammo. but if you can not buy commercial primers and powder, then the brass irrelevant. It could be they put such a tax on loaded ammo that reloading becomes a good idea or maybe they outlaw 9x19 or or restrict it, but allow revolver ammo sales and reloading components for .38 that can work in a 9mm.

I have about 3K or more of them.... guessing, don't really wanna count them now...

Capitalcartrige.com buys used brass, $1.40 a lb

 

[Realtor]

This used brass has been transferred to a new owner.

Wise recycling on 59 in Foley pays $1.40 lb for any kind of brass as of this Tuesday. FWIW, the 5gal buckets I haul it in usually weigh between 48-51 lbs each.

It would be awful useful to have a couple thousand cases on hand for when components come back plentiful and they will.

When the usgi forces manufacturers to go to the 2 piece non reload able cases you'll miss this stuff. (Brazil I think, or some crap hole)

I do tend go in for the sky is falling and I hope biden does not do something to make it harder to buy components in the future.
I am hoping that once the europeans and russians after covid vaccinations get the factories going again, that primers will start enter the usa in large numbers and break the primer shortage. I see remington ammo is on the web and I hope their factory starts making some primers also.

Problem is people are buying up everything and then reselling on gun broker for 10 times what they paid for it at normal pricing.

I saw an 8lb jug of H4350 sell for 1700.00

That's fucking ridiculous.

Primers going for 400-500 for 1k

If people stopped paying those prices they would come down immediately.

Even when the price goes down, I will try to lay in a huge supply of SRP and SPP as will many others. If biden does not put in a repressive law, probably in 18 months primers will go down, but not to what they were.
