What is brass worth?

[Second Amendment]

Though I don't reload, I have been keeping my spent casings thinking they have, or will have some value. Most of it is .223 and some is .38 Spcl. Is there a current market value for once used brass in those calibers?

Its worth selling, Sence you don't reload i would sort it and package it in 100 - 250 rd bags and put it in the classified adds.

A ballpark price for once-fired .223 is about 7 cents each. One of the forum members periodically sells once-fired Lake City 5.56 in lots of 1000 for $70.00.

I can't speak to the .38 brass.

To get the best idea about its worth, go on GunBroker.com and so some searches. There are a lot of people who sell their brass there. That's where I look to buy if I can't get it cheaply locally, or if I only need 50-100 cases, e.g. 30-30Win, which I don't shoot a lot of.

You will get the best prices and have the easiest time selling it if all the cases in the lot you're selling are the same headstamp, but mixed headstamps will be bought. You should note the headstamp or if it is mixed when you post to sell it. Some re-loaders are anal about only using certain brands, or not using certain brands. I generally don't care, but I do have my favorites.

FA18hooker sell .223 in the classifieds for $50. per 1,000.

.223 and .38 are pretty common and plentiful calibers.

The value is what somebody will pay you for it.

Brass value as scrape is about $1.50 per pound

was just talking to a friend.. he has been collecting brass and the scrap place he goes pay 1.89 per pound (waldorf area).

Ugh, don't scrap it unless it's Berdan primed. All they will do is melt it and sell it to the Chinese to make crap for us.
