I've been lugging these around for years now and ready to offload them but not sure of their value. Any trap/skeet shooters/reloaders that can chime in? Thanks.

If they are all brass base, roughly a "retail" price is around 10 cents/pc, so that will give you an idea.
Thanks - they are all brass base. My buddy told me the gold shotshells were Australian and not easy to find anymore but what you said makes sense

Yes, usually, they are Australian, but typically, the gold and red were not as durable as the brown was.
Remington nitro hulls are gold also, great hulls, also.
Thanks. I don't reload shotshells and probably never will. Was just trying to figure out what this pile I have on my hands is valued at so I can pass them on to someone who reloads them.

Trapshooters.com might be a place to list them for sale. I see hulls for sale on there at times.
How many hulls do you have?
Shipping these days makes it hard to sell small quantities.

I tried selling 12/20/410 once fired hulls locally (low brass and high brass)- clay pigeon boxes full of them-- no one would bite, not even for $5 per box....I ended up throwing them away because I never even had anyone inquire (would have given away for free if someone wanted them)--- I guess people just don't reload shotshells as much anymore in my area anyway

When shot prices hit $50/25# bag and then unobtainable, similar for primers, it really took the steam out of many shot shell reloaders. Especially early on when the local WalMart was selling shells for $4.99/bx and $19.49/100. Even I stopped loading low brass bird and target loads during that time and stored up on the cheap shells. One season, I even found a clearance sale on Federal Gold Medal 12ga, 3dr 1-1/8 target for only $5/box, and bought out the entire lot. I still have 21 boxes of those.
Locally and for years, I hit the nearby skeet/trap informal range, and the trash cans were full of hulls of all sizes, brands, types, etc. I brought home so many thousands, I had to stop.
The good old days! Walking into a WalMart and finding dozens of these on clearance for $5/bx.

Okay, I will probably donate them to my local trap range so they are out of my garage.
