Hey there. Have saved up some 6.5cm brass thinking maybe I'd make the jump into reloading. Decided to hold off for now and sell the brass I currently have on hand. I've never sold used brass before and just wanted to get a more informed perspective on what I should be charging per cartridge?

I have two 6ish lb bags (estimating around 300 cartridges per bag) - all is once fired. one bag is all 143gr Hornady ELDX, the other is a mix of 140gr S&B FMJBT and 140gr SIG Elite Match Grade.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I recently saw Peterson once fired brass going for around $0.43 per piece (on unknown munitions website) but the brass you have listed isn't quite Peterson quality so I would assume maybe around 25 to 35 cents for hornady, 20 to 30 cents for sig brass and I personally don't know anyone that would want the s&b but you never know??

There is some Hornady head stamp up for auction right now and its at $46 plus 9.95 shipping for 100ea. Sig brass new is $0.69, so I imagine you could get ~$0.40-0.45 for those. S&B seems to have lovers and haters, so probably not going to get much for them. So you probably end up with $200+ for it.

600x0.25 = $150
600x0.30 = $180
600x0.35 = $210

$100/bag seems reasonable. Maybe $100 shipped?

are you gonna try and squeeze out the last cent or just get rid of it?

Thanks all, really appreciate the input. I was planning to shoot for around the .40 mark. Definently not trying to milk every last penny out of it. I can always adjust if no one ends up biting. Thanks again.
