[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2684280, member: 313"] I posted some time ago inquiring about the value of my saved (but exhausted) brass cases. IIRC the value was listed on an internet source at about $2.20/lb. That's a bit less than I expected but it is, what it is. Today, I lugged my carefully weighed 40lbs of Lapua, ADG, and common brass down to the large salvage place that's not too far from my home. The guy tells me that the salvage rate for brass is $1.35/lb. WHAT! :eek: I'm anxious to get all this brass away from my reloading area so I tell the guy, "fine". He weighs my brass on a scale made to weigh large pallets of junk and comes up with 38lbs. :rolleyes: I tell him "fine" again and he tells me to go to the window and they'll give you cash. The guy in the booth hands me $38. I tell him that the sign reads $1.35/lb. He sais, 'that's for brass, we pay $1/lb for cases. Somehow, I think I got hornswoggled at every turn of that deal, but my wife will be happy that I'm cleaning up my area. I wonder what it will take to get her to clean up her area. 🤣😂🤣 [/QUOTE]
