Somebody in Tennessee needs to buy this, make some money on this and drive the price of brass back down. I swear it has doubled in the last month.
|
|
Even though it went for almost 40k you could still make some change on this. I am watching this stuff like a hawk and have trended the prices for a year. It is almost time to buy a shit ton of brass!!

If you buy something like that know that the majority of it is nothing more than scrap metal, between the blanks and the SAW brass.
