The following statement was taken from a brass casing seller on EBAY. I’m just wondering if this is true (I have no reason to doubt him) or is he just trying to get the bidding up a tad? Having to clean and deprime all the brass must add a little to his cost also. He might have to deprime the brass before the scrap yard would take it and perhaps they would be a little squeamish about taking anything to do with ammo or reloading…at least in Mass.
“As you might have noticed brass has gone up in price so much that it's getting hard to sell when I can make more selling it as scrap. I had to sell about 2700 pounds of 9mm's that I had sorted and polished because the scrap yard was paying $1.75 a pound and no one was willing to bid on it for reloading. I will do my best to continue to sell brass on Ebay so that it gets reloaded and not scrapped and melted.”
