    Default Selling extra brass, tumbled vs tumbled + cleaned

    I have 900 pieces of once fired 9mm brass I'm looking to get rid of. Right now they are all just tumbled and I was wondering if for making a few extra bucks it would be worth depriming/resizing, cleaning the primer pocket and cleaning the inside?

    Personally I would not waste my time . There is a lot of 9MM brass for sale out there. And Range brass is only going to bring a Minimal price. clean or not. its still Range Brass.

    This comes up once in a while. I always want my used brass to have the primer still in it. You can tell a little about where it came from, and it it has the original factory primer still in it. And I'll have to resize it anyways.

    Personally, I wouldn't even want it tumbled. This way I can see the shape they're really in. Even the scrubbiest looking piece of brass can look nearly brand new if it spends enough time in a tumbler. I also re-tumble any used brass I get even if it is tumbled to a nice shine.... might just be OCD though. Some do like it tumbled though, so that's all I would do. If you're ever looking to get rid of once-fired military brass, you can increase the value significantly by depriming and removing the crimp, otherwise, don't waste your time. Not too many will pay any extra money for your extra effort.
