I’ve got hundreds of mag and special brass and nickel casings. I’ve looked online to check what they’re selling for but couldn’t see a common price. What is considered a fair price these days?
Thanks

Are they fully processed or just "once fired"...? Are they reprimed? How many of each, what kind?
Probably the only way to make a reasonable determination...
Cheers!

Prices these days are hard to figure. If it were me, and I wanted to sell them, I would put them on GB, as separate .44mag, and .44 spl. lots, and start them at a penny each lot, and let the market decide. You might be surprised.

I don’t know what fully processed means. All rounds were bought new from many manufacturers: Rem, Federal, Magtech, Hornady, Underwood etc.
Do they still have the fired primer in them? Have they been deprimed, cleaned, reprimed, sized?

They are as fired, nothing further done.
Hard to tell really, kinda all over the map think last I paid for .44 mag once fired was 40 on 200 and 10 per 100 of .357
If you come up with a price send me a PM I could always use more brass...

You will probably get more in scrap locally. Check local scrap yards for prices.... by the weight.

Condition Condition
Condition of the Cases is a big deal. Just went and
looked at my New Bag/50ct of Winchester .44s I got
for $22 +$1.43tax. So that's .47 cents a piece new.
Used is used; and I hate Nickel Plated, so under
.20 cents/case is a reasonable price.
One thing to keep in mind, if cartridges are reloaded
with normal pressures, taken care of, and shot in a
Revolver they last a long time. That's my experience.
The Best to you and your Endeavors.

Good idea. I just sold about a two-year accumulation of scrap brass and spent primers, 229 lbs., for $2.00 per pound = $458.00. I had no idea scrap brass would bring that much. Last time I sold brass it was around $1.30.
However, I'd check the price at several scrap yards first because it varies widely in my experience. And it is reported that some scrap places won't take spent primers. I've never had any problem selling these where I go; probably had at least twenty-five pounds of primers this last trip.

There are about 58 .44 magnum cases to the pound. I'm no math major but if you sell them as scrap at $2 a pound you are getting 3.44 cents each. In that caliber they are surely worth 15 cents each which would be $8.70 for the pound. It is helpful to have them sorted by brand. Same brand, known once fired, is more desirable than mixed brand with an uncertain number of previous firings. 9mm and .40 are the lowest value brass and even those are worth more than scrap. Having enough to make shipping economical is also important. If you only have 100, the shipping will be expensive. You need to have a quantity that fills USPS flat rate boxes to get economical shipping.

I could see selling fired 22lr brass for scrap, but 44 cal brass has to be worth more than the $0.0344 referenced above!
Still need to know how many and what?
Cheers!
P.S. Perhaps a "misc. for sale ad" with a description and a "make offer" might work?
