I am going through my collection of brass. And I figure I might as well get rid of it. I have a bunch of .30 Cal carbine brass and I have no idea what it's worth. Did some googling but the numbers I found can't possibly be right.
 
Marstar is listed as sold out but it shows $12/100 for once fired. That sounds about right for a cartridge that size.
Generally once-fired goes for half of what it costs new. Availability sucks right now but I saw some 308 recently and it was $45 for a bag of 50 Remington brass. It's a larger case so $12-15/100 for once fired 30 carbine sounds reasonable.

$45 for 50 remington once fired .308 brass?!?! Wow, that's retarded lol. New lapua .308 brass goes for about $95 per 100.

no no, sorry, the $45 was for new brass. I was using it for comparison for once-fired being half the cost of new. I just reread my post and really missed a lot of information.

The $45/50 new brass was showing how high some brass prices are because supply is poor. A more reasonable price for RP brass, new, would be around $30-35 which would mean a once-fired price of around $15/50 or $30/100. 30 carbine is a much smaller case so $12-15/100 makes sense; it's closer to 357 mag.

Oh ok, that makes more sense. That seems to be a going rate for once fired is about 50% of new. It seems to be getting more popular that stores are selling once fired brass, even seen some selling once fired Norma brass.
 
This isn't the .30cal carbine brass this is some other stuff I have here's another view I out a 308 beside it for size comparison

Military surplus, crimped in primer. Is it boxer or berdan primed? Without seeing the rest of the case and possibly measuring it I have no idea what it could be. 92 could mean made in 1992 or could be a factory number.

7.5x55 Swiss by the looks of it. The GP90 stuff commonly available until a little while ago has two T's on the base, not one. I have no idea what that means though.
All of it that I've seen is berdan primers. There is a way to convert it to boxer and make it reloadable but with new boxer primed Prvi brass being $60ish/100 it isn't really worth it.
