Carlos Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Supposed to go on sale on April 2. Here is the link - sell looks legit. http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&...=9&t=561168 Could be mostly once-fired. Too bad they don't seem to be selling any 9mm (its all I shoot these days). The link above is all the info I have. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Intriguing... Police range brass should be once fired, and mostly good commercial stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBunin Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 In 150lb lots, I doubt they're willing to ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 re-read the post: "auctions will start April 2 and run until April 13th" Seller is legit. Currently disposes of several hundren pounds of used knifes, letherman tools, scissors, etc. Why? Confiscated by the state. Appears he has a contract with PA.

bp78 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 PA State Surplus has been pretty well know around ebay for selling pocket knifes in 10# lots or larger. Should be interesting if this rumor is true: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZpastatesurplusQQhtZ-1 http://myworld.ebay.com/pastatesurplus/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz-0 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 very interesting, even if shipping is funky, I do believe that isn't too far of a drive from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanM Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I get free range brass but it's all mixed up and I have to sort it. If it was 150lbs of pure winchester .40, I might be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Nothing put up for auction as of this time (~0900 PDT), and no reply to my enquiry. Will keep checking, as there's some interest out my way in bidding on a couple lots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sturmruger Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 .40 is about 10 lbs per thousand the price works out to right about $20 per thousand in the fourty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Good price, too bad about P/U only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp78 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 They're selling 18,548lbs (minimums) of .40 brass. Given the 10lbs/1k that's a bit over 1.8 million cases. Too bad all of it is pickup only. I'm sure some PA eBay huckster will pickup on this soon enough and flip several lots in smaller quantities for a nice profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBunin Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 OK, so what's the nearest USPSA club? Who here's a member? Can you say Club Fundraiser? Buy a LOT of it and offer it for sale to the rest of us at a really good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerba Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 OK - I'm 2 hours away. I'll be willing to make the run but i need to not lose anything on the deal. How much are you guys willing to pay per 1000 shipped and how many thousand are you guys willing to buy. Right now, I'm looking at $20 + shipping for 1000 (my cost). I don't know how much shipping is so I'm guessing $25 per thousand (give or take). What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cheely Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I can get brass from a local guy already cleaned and sorted that works out to $26 per K even if you add shipping cost to it, doesn't sound like that good of a deal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe4d Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Gee all this makes me love my wife even more..... She came with all the .40 brass I can load. Brings me five gallon buckets of once fired remington .40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerba Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 (edited) USPS flat rate box should hold around 3000.Kenny How much for the flat rate box? Never mind - $8.10 per box. Is that the box you are talking about (11"x8.5"x5.5")? If that's the case, how about $65 per 3000? Anybody interested?

Is that the box you are talking about (11"x8.5"x5.5")? If that's the case, how about $65 per 3000? Anybody interested? Remember that this is sight unseen, mixed brass, perhaps been sitting out in the weather for who knows for exactly how long. You can get smaller lots of brass on Ebay, sorted by headstamp, for about $25/K net (including shipping). My buddies and I were thinking it worth bidding up to $300/lot (about $20/K) until the shipping issue stopped us cold. Don't want to put you to the trouble (time, gas and hassle) if you don't get something for your effort. But if you can do it for $60/3K shipped, I'll buy two or three from you, and possibly more from my friends.

Throwin Lead Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Hi folks, I live in western PA near Pittsburgh about a 2 hour drive to Harrisburg where you would have to go to pick up the brass (plus fuel & turnpike fees). The cost of the auction if nobody bumps the lot price is at $255 right now. Final fees are 6% PA sales tax(doesn't apply to non-resident) & a $10 handling fee for a total cost of $280.30. Without fuel & pike fees the brass work out to about 2 cents per case or $20/thousand. I figure there are about 105 cases per pound give or take a few. If my numbers by weight are accurate there will be 15,530 cases per lot. That's a boatload of brass that would keep you shooting for some time. As far as flipping the brass on eBay.....I'd lose money when I add in fuel cost & pike fees to the cost. I did a completed item search for 40 sw brass and find it to be running around $20/thousand + shipping for the past 30 days. At first I was going to buy 4 lots thinking that I'd keep one for myself and sell off the 3 others to basically to get my lot for free. After crunching the numbers it won't work that way unless there is a spike in brass or 40 sw becomes hard to find. I talked with some people and they said they are fairly certain that PSP uses winchester white box at the academy ranges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
