I think there are a lot of tight ***** like me that don't reload but just cannot leave my brass behind when I go to the range or a shooting event. For the guys like me I think this thread is needed.
My dilemma is...how much does the potential buyer care about the various types of brass a particular lot might contain?
To the seller like me, it would be nice to know if the return on time spent sorting is worth it. I kind of like sitting in the garage and sorting through it during times I can't find anything else productive to do but if there is no real return on time spent I'm not that into it.
Things I think might matter but don't really know: Please comment on any you have input on.
1) Should I sort it based on manufacturer headstamp or is that not really important to a reloader?
2) Should I at least sort it based on the little NATO circle cross thingy so 5.56 is somewhat separated from .223?
3) Sort out the annealed brass from non-annealed?
4) Does the manufacturer headstamp question vary based on the actual manufacturer? Meaning, better brands should be sold as a separate lot because they are inherently worth more per piece? I see in my batch Wolf brass, Lake City, PMC, Federal..... If you care to tackle this question it would be even better to group similar brands.
Basically, what is important and what isn't in regard to a lot of brass? I'd hate to spend an hour sorting headstamps just find out it really doesn't add any value to the end buyer.
