What in the world??

[chipperi]

I was watching a lot of 5.56 on Gov Liquidators. scrap value for brass is right at .50 a lb this lot was 1860lbs so scrap value is 930.00 I wouldn't bid too much over that. This lot for 1860lbs is up to 7700.00! Thats 4.13 a lb!!!

There are 60 5.56 in a lb. so that would be .07 a case.

What are they going to do with it?? they can't make their money back reloading and selling it.

1860 lbs would be 111,600 casings. If you were to sell those at 95 per 1000 as processed brass, you would have 111lots at 95 = 10545 - the cost of shipping 600 = 9945 - your time and energy to clean and de-cap 111,600 pcs.

there's barely a profit there.
