Problem for me is that the auctions in nys and NYC people are bidding way over what I can to make a profit. Have my eye on a sealed bid auction for 29000lbs of fired shell casings. Trying to find out when they previously sold this stuff and what winning bid was. Should be a record of it since it is being sold by city and has to be public knowledge. Have to call on Monday. I figure as long as none of the scrap yards are bidding I may have a shot...yeah right. Brass is going for somewhere around 2 bucks lb so if I can get it for half that I can turn a nice profit. Yards be me take it and firing caps do not have to be removed.
