Find me any that is going for that price, I'll buy 10. All range brass is unknown round count, once fired is an assumption unless it is crimped brass that is still crimped, or being sold by the shooter. I was planning on buying 5 of these boxes. If I can get 5 gallon buckets for cheaper I'll jump all over it.
That is what the scrap yard is paying in the florida parishes area. That is on the high end. I called every scrap yard in SELA and got a low of .75 a pound and a high of 1.50 a pound for dirty brass. You are quoting prices for clean, once fired brass but for dirty range pickup. Dirty range pick up is scrap that's valued at very most 1.50-ish a pound.
I'm trying to tell you that you are getting screwed by those prices. Buy if you must but your 2.50/lb quote that the scrap yards are paying is way off. If the person you are buying it from told you that then they are lying.
