Damn! 371 lbs of .223 casings located in Fort Meade. Wish I had the will or the way to buy that stuff. I guess it would have helped if I was a re-loader.

Unless you guys have about 2$ a pound don't waste your time the scrapers grab it up for almost the going rate a pound.

Is it me or am I seeing 17, 371 LBS of brass?

LOT CONSIST OF 10 PALLETS W/ 31 SEALED PLASTIC DRUMS.

Thats a shit load of brass. I had about 100lbs of it and sold it all for $65 shipped for a USPS bulk box that costs $9 to ship. Filled it up with about 700 casings. I sold it all in 24 hours from posting. All LC brass.

I reload 5.56 and have bout 1500 empty cases. Could use more but I have no room for 10 pallets, 31 sealed drums.

That's what I thought at first. The 17 is actually the lot#. Its lot number 17. With 371 lbs.

 

[Lostfantum]

It is 17,371 lbs.

 

[JeepDriver]

Quantity In Lot: 17,371 lbs. (View Details)
First Bid: $50.00

looks like 17,371 pounds of brass. Which sounds right for 31 sealed drums.

I am thinking about bidding on this one, I have a warehouse that I could store it at, then start the task of reloading until my fingers bleed. The only thing I am worried about is in the pics the rim of the cases look bent, do you think that will make much of a difference?

If you can't reform it throw it into a scrap barrel, its worth plenty just as scrap.

however that much brass would take centuries to go through unless you set up a commercial operation.

That auction when it ends will be for at least 25,000$

I would buy a couple of pounds. Townehouses are not condusive to 55 gallon drums.

 

[Lambo]

If it were in smaller lots, this say"by the Barrel" I would Bid! Then again, if the Rims are damaged there no good to me.

Oh 25K I dont think so I was thinking maybe 300 or so.

going rate is 2.05 a pound for brass
17,371 x 2.05 = 35,610$ It will end very close to that number.

Factor in that it is probably lake city brass and you will have the reload guys scrambling to get this brass for that kind of money. I'm interested in watching this.

 

[monumentalhp]

Sadly, some of it is mine.... a few escape no matter how hard I try to find it.

 

[Lambo]

I just hit the Link, said, "couldn't be found or Lot was pulled". Ha! I wonder what happened?

 

[sbarber7973]

They pulled it to update the listing
