Maddog McCoy SASS #5672 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I have a bunch of used 44 magnum mixed head stamp brass that I have collected and used over the years. I am cleaning up the reloading area and have counted out 400 pieces this afternoon and have 3 or 4 boxes to go thru. I figure i have 1000+ pieces and I will probably sell them. The last gun show a guy told me he would buy them ( ammo / brass seller), but his offer seemed low compared to what I saw on Gunbroker. What do you all think used 44 mag brass, mixed head stamp, loaded more than 4-5 times with cowboy loads would be worth per piece. A penny? A nickle? A dime?, 15 cents? 20 cents? A quarter? more than that? Post your thoughts. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Starline has them new for .25 each in the 500 quantity and .22 for the 1000 quantity. Once fired used should bring half of that plus shipping. So .10 to .12 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 The last time I bought used brass I paid a nickel a piece. Just about the same time I bought a thousand pieces of new from Starline. $88. That's nine cents a piece. 5 cents each is approximately half price of 9 cents each. So see what Starline sells it new for, and charge half of that.

The minimum they are worth is their scrap value: ~$1.25/lb (according to an online search). According to this reference there are ~58.2, 44 mag cases per lb (no info regarding presence of spent primers). Therefore each case has a scrap value of ~1-lb/58.2*$1.25 = $0.215. Take that into consideration. A penny a case is too little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I just bought new Starline .44 Magnum locally for $38 per 100. Brass that could split after one time would be worth much less. I agree with the 10 cent figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog McCoy SASS #5672 Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 Thanks for your input. Once I get it all counted and ran thru my dry tumbler, I will figure out what to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
