    I have made a quite large post on 'Zoklet.com' about turning bullet shells into things & selling them.

    If you can get loads of empty brass shells you would probably start doing what I was doing.
    A little bit of work & two shells are worth US$2.

    I wish I could get more, its **** hard to find them here.
    We don't have 'gun culture' here in NZ, just the odd hunter & such.

    Oh, Just to make sure.. I'm not actually saying to do this, just to find out what others think of doing it.

    Don't do this {If theres no bullets in them (& no 'blank shells') you could put them in a camp fire & heat them up to red heat, while not actually close to the fire of course, & in the country where theres no one to notice. Once they have all been burnt you could be sure theres no blanks or shells without bullets or shells with primers left in there.}

    I'd suggest making stuff out of them, necklaces, pipes, belts, gizmos etc.
