Get enough posts on here and put them up for sale in the classified section. Plenty of people willing to buy them here, including me.

For sure. You could get more than scrap prices and reloaders could get brass at a lower price. You get more money and reduce the amount of competition for loaded ammo . . Win win. ! !

I'm not sure if your up to doing it but I see spent brass sold on Ebay all of the time. Just an option. Don't think I would as they take their cut out and you have to deal with their draconian rules. I used to sell there but that stopped when they changed their rules and the buyer can change their mind months later and you have to do a complete refund. Heavy duty crap on the sellers and take the buyers side every time!

I turned in a couple 5 gallon buckets of spent primers two months ago, never had a problem with them in the brass or out.

If people were still buying I would still be processing brass. It dropped off big time a couple years ago. If you can't get $3 a pound or a little more it is not worth processing it.
