I'm pretty sure the ones in the drums require your own method of storage, ie they keep the drums. You usually need a roll off or something for those lots.
Also, some of the lots have the weight of the containers/skids/drums added in with the weight so watch out for that too.
Prices seem to be going pretty high on the .223 auctions lately.
ETA - There are usually around 73-74 primed .223 cases in a lb for anyone looking for piece counts on those lots.

I'm curious as to what they close at also. Opening at $150 is a steal. I got $1/pound for the last load I took to the recycler.

Yeah, I was pretty much being sarcastic... You know 15k lbs in drums being a lot easier to transport & store vs 16k lbs in.... ahh, nevermind.Originally Posted by MrSmitty

When was this?
That's a horrible price if it's been any time in the last year.
$2.50-$3.00 is about where it has been.

I use 95gr as an average case weight, so 73.68 or 74pcs per pound. 13.6lbs per K.

That's what I've heard. I wonder if its worth less locally for some reason. It was only a few months ago so I'll have to call some other places and see what they offer.

The last lot that I watched was 2511lbs and it went for over $9k, well over scrap rate.

No problem.
How much over scrap price do you guys think this stuff if worth, realistically? I'm assuming it would also vary by caliber too.

For me, I can't find once fired .223 brass for under $100 per k, online or local. I loaded up everything I had and now I seem to be SOL. I'd imagine the price will go back to normal here in a few months or so.

I bought 1k once fired LC from Wideners for about $85 shipped around October. It was advertised as 90% LC and NO saw brass. I don't think I would pay more than $100 shipped for the same thing. Conservatively, that's $0.085/piece. Scrap value is about $0.043/piece if you get top dollar. It would be neat to watch some of these auctions because even if you end up paying a few thousand for the lot you could flip it and make bank on the scrap value alone. Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of capital
