9mm brass, cleaned, processed, shiny - can ship

CLT65 · Sep 22, 2020

I gave the brass gathering over to my 14yo son. He's been hard at work sizing, sorting, and tumbling the empty brass he's picked up. He's got a couple thousand ready to go.

9mm range brass - mixed headstamp - sorted to remove any tarnished, dinged, damaged, or otherwise questionable brass. $48 per 1,000 pieces.
We're able to ship up to 2,000 pieces, anywhere in the Pacific Northwest, in a USPS Regional "A" box for only $8.

Nice job by your son.
When you say sizing do you mean sorting by caliber size or have these been already resized in a die?
Thanks,
Camo

They've all been resized in a carbide sizer die.

OK, thanks. Just making sure.
Pretty good price compared to some that I have seen lately.
Very neat that you are getting your son involved.

As long as your son gets the dough... I'll take them. :s0073:

pm incoming..

Thank you! I told him if he starts making much money, he might have to start paying for his own .22 ammo.

We'll probably have some more ready within a week or so.

Nice job Dad! :s0166:

I'm looking to head down to McMinnville to buy from some other members in the next week or so here. If you've got some brass available, I can pick some up!

CLT65 · Sep 23, 2020

He's got a fire under him now to get more ready. 1k is sold, another 1k is ready to go, and he's got several more that he's working on. I told him to be sure and include some extra in each thousand. It's always a good practice to give the customer good measure.

Just let me know what you want, and we'll have it ready.

Really cool deal here getting your son involved like this. Tagged for future reference/purchase.

CLT65 · Sep 25, 2020

Sold 2k yesterday. He had a big grin on his face holding the cash! The grin decreased slightly when I informed him that we'll be going to the bank today to put half of it directly into his savings account. We set accounts up for them a while back, but so far haven't put much in.

I feel bad because when I was his age I was working hard on the farm. I bucked hay and raised a calf or two, made some real money. My kids are growing up in town, and can't even mow lawns for neighbors; everyone's "got a guy". I worry that they're not learning to work.

Sorry, I know this isn't a discussion thread. Maybe I'll start one in Off Topic: work opportunities for kids?

Do you have any .357 brass?

I hope everything went well with my son in laws purchase of that "fine lookin" 9mm brass. Haven't heard any bad so I assume all went well. You are a good dad. We need more of you. It's a fight, but believe me, (been there) it's worth it. FAMILY is worth it.

Sorry, not in any quantity worth selling. People either don't shoot or don't leave behind revolver brass anymore.

Yup, no problems at all.

He's got some more 9mm ready now. I turned the rest of the brass I've collected over to him to, .380, .45 acp, and .40 S&W. He'll process it next, and have it available for the same price (a little more for the 45s - I'll make a separate listing).
