OFB, deprimed and cleaned is $185 here. 

$100 for range brass has been average around here.

$65 per 1k for once fired military shipping inc.  http://store.brassmanbrass.com/servlet/-strse-Rifle-Brass--dsh--Once-Fired/Categories   Local is the same price here in Colorado.

Just a little buisness adventure?  Gonna sell it now or wait and see how the election goes?

I'll let you know when I get them.

Got a call from a guy yesterday asking me if I wanted to buy a truck load of brass. I told him I'd take it not knowing what I will do with it yet. I'm figuring I'll sell some and keep some but then again I've never been good at selling stuff.

What garage? I'm on stilts.
Please excuse the trash cans and pic quality. It's a google pic and they must have been following the trash truck first thing some morning.  :-s

What your thinking about is an area I rent that has 24hr armed security. 8)

With the salt air here I don't keep much stuff around the house.

I just swapped 500 pieces of range brass for 25 pounds of lead shot.  I don't know why but there are shooters who leave once fired cases behind at my range.  I pick up a couple hundred every week.  If you need some - give me a shout.

The cheapest I can get 500 for is $40. Common price in my area for a 1,000 runs about $100+ shipping.
