Brass shell casings - worth much?

The wife wants to toss my brass shell casings I've been saving as a closet metal hoarder now that space is at a premium. They are in pretty nice shape, 223 calibur. It looks like online these sell for $2 each which seems high, whereas the melt value is going for a more understandable $1.20 / pound. Is it worth trying to sell them? I've probably got nearly 10 pounds. No telling what already went in the trash with the last bag before I caught her. It's fun to be able to complain about a spouse for once after hearing other stories over the years. I love her to bits anyway. =)

You may wish to inquire at a shooting range. 223 can be expensive to get.

If you can find an idiot to pay $2 each for just the brass .223 case you better take that all day. More than the cost of the loaded ammo....
Not an expensive item around here.
Deal

The reason they sell for $2 each on line is because people buy 1 or 2 and use them for other purposes, jewelry etc.

Oh oh. Isn’t that what Jeffrey Dahmer said? Just kidding of course.
