So, I had a friend pass away that had a mountain of reloading supplies. 90% of it went to close friends and family, the rest of it was left with me. There is possibly 75k to 100k different brass and nickel cases in multiple different calibers. To give an example, we have counted just the .308 with head stamp LC and I have 3200 of those. I have over 10k clean (non rusted) links for .308 machine gun. Guessing that there is another 2000 in mixed head stamp .308. This is just what I have found in .308 supplies.
I have boxes of projectiles, boxes of primers, and several reloading machines (RCBS Rotary/non electric). Two tumblers, and much much more. Just the other day I was looking through buckets and found a 5 gallon bucket about 3/4 of the way full of 6.8 SPC brass... these appear to be worth about $1 a piece on Gun Broker.
I wanted to get some reloading done, look into a FFL and decided... way to much work. I have started sorting the brass by head stamp and sealing them in 100 round bags to start selling on Gun Broker. I guess I am asking what would you do?
Should I sell it in 100 count bags, or attempt to sell it as a whole lot? Should I get an exact count of every thing I have and post that? What would be the best way to approach this? I have looked on Gun Broker to see what prices are going for, so I am not willing to just "give it away" as a whole lot. I also understand that I am not going to get retail pricing for everything if its sold as a lot.
What would you do in a case like this?
I appreciate any feed back on this and if needed I can post a bunch of pictures if needed.
Thank you.
