Default Price Check - Once-fired quality brass/nickel cases

I don't start new threads often so I'm a little unsure of how to POST this question to forum members.

I have once fired LE range brass in 380 ACP, 9MM, 38 SP, 357 Magnum, 40 caliber SW, 45 ACP (LP) and 5.56/223. I have some rifle calibers but in limited quantities. The brass was secured after range qualifications with duty ammo. The brass has been inspected, sorted, cleaned, polished, and inspected again. It is then bagged and sealed. They can be purchased as "mixed" cases or by brand like "Winchester brass" or like "Federal nickel". This brass is ready to reload.

I plan on moving out of California soon and desire to sell the brass as I don't really want to haul it with me (over 2,500 pounds of the stuff).

I need the member's kind assistance is helping me with determining a fair/ decent price on this quality brass for the forum members. Postage will be
added to the price of the brass. My understanding is from the POST OFFICE is if the contents fit in their medium size box it costs $15 for shipping anywhere in the US. If the contents fit in their large size box it costs $20 for shipping anywhere in the US. Of course, a larger purchase can be made in a larger box, however, I don't know the estimated costs for shipping. The more you buy, the better price you will get. You can purchased as little as 100 empties to several thousands empties. So once the prices are set, you can PM me with your personal request and I can give you a deal. Thank you.

I am not sure of the value of your brass. Nickel plated brass is less desirable for reloading, some people like it for long term storage.

In the past, sellers of reloading components posted their shipping charges with the sale price and usually split the cost. Now days it seems to be whatever the market will stand for. (3 years ago I couldn't sell 9mm range brass, now it is thought to be made of gold!)

There are tons of online sellers you can check. Even those without stock often have a price. You could also look at starlinebrass.com for their cost new. For me if range brass approaches 1/2 the cost of new, I start losing interest. Starline offers free shipping so if you look there, keep that in mind.

I think the way you presented this was smart: you have other-than-firearm items FOR SALE and can receive communications via the PM system re: orders/offers, and the feedback you are soliciting re: suggested pricing, etc., via this thread without running afoul of the "rules"...

One suggestion would be to list the approximate number of cases (per caliber) that will fit in those usps $15 & $20 boxes.

Good Move & Best Wishes!

P.S. I wish I needed brass right now: you don't by chance just happen to have any PRIMERS available, do you...?
