    Hey guys not sure if this is the right section, but I've got some once fired brass, all high quality stuff. I was just wondering what the market value for it would be. Here's the details:

    All once fired out of my DTA SRS or AXMC
    Calibers: 300WM, 308, 6.5 creed, 260 Rem., .223

    Brands: 45% hornady, 45% FGMM, 10% other (all the .223 is 100% black hills match)

    All clean, no dents or anything.

    Is there some sort of standard way of figuring out what brass is worth?

    Thanks!

    There really isn't a standard way of pricing brass in the secondary market. There are online retailers that deal in bulk and you can sort of compare and contrast with their pricing.

    Here are some factors that will effect pricing of your brass.

    Chambering: 308, 223 and 300WM are all surplus cartridges, meaning they (or military variations) can be found in stock all over the net.

    Brass Life: Hornady has a better brass life than FGMM, as FC is pretty soft. Stuff like RP, WW and Lapua and Norma will take more reloads before the primer pocket is blown out.

    Availability: Like it or not, political climate has an indirect impact on reloading component availability. As of now, the shelves are pretty full, so simple supply and demand applies.

    Market: Where do you plan to sell? On the Hide, most folks sell at a reasonable price, as most of us do lots of shooting. We know the true value of a product and if its a good deal. You may get more money at places like gunbroker or other auction sites.


    In the end, it really depends on what the buyer is willing to pay. From your offering, the 6.5 and 260 may yield the most as they are really not that available, or pretty expensive in the primary market. 300WM next.

     
    If I was to sell on the Hide, what would a fair market price be?
    Any info is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
