You can buy new ADI brass for $38.50 for hundred plus postage.
Somewhere about half of that seems fair to me. Depending what sort of brass. Crimped primer, brand of brass, all the same brass?

How many OSA?

I'd be dividing them into head stamps and selling them by the batch. Say $20 for 100 once fired OSA. I wouldn't pay 5c each for the others but some would.
Scrapped a bunch of winchester brass a while ago and replaced it with fresh OSA.

Slightly unrelated, does anyone have any recommendation for where to sell brass? I've decided I hate reloading enough that I'm just going to sell my 303 brass in future and then buy factory ammo. If I can sell once fired for $1 each and buy it for $1.50 I think I'll be alright. Just got to find where to sell it without breaking the bank.

Don't think you'll get $1 a case for once fired 303. If you shoot at a range see if they have a notice board or ask others there shooting 303s if they are after cases

It's more than that for virgin brass. I figured ten or twenty cents under that was reasonable.

What brand is it and how much brass are talking about?
If you have it when somebody really needs some you might get a buck a piece, but I'd rather buy new for that sort of money.

Aussie Once Fired buy it but I doubt they'd pay anything like a buck a piece.

jousting sticks? few days ago I bought 100rounds of commercial 303 for $120.....

building up the brass stock for reloading, not worth buying new (unloaded) brass....
