I would not mind buying a few buckets but it seems way to expensive at $300 to $400 per pail. Its just priced out of my range at this price.

Asking around it seems that some junk yard wont take bullet brass, contaminated and primers may not be all brass.

I am I to cheap or is it overpriced?
Do you think it would be sitting around if he could get $300+/pal. B.S. Copper is at $4/lb. now. Cartridge brass is typically 70% copper. So the most valuable component is $4/lb new.
