Ive got a ton of once fired tumbled brass that i bought a couple years ago from another CGN. It was tumbled and some of the brass still had blemishes on them. Some even almost had i guess you could call it pitting. I trimmed and fired about 100 rounds of the brass and didnt have any issues, but since ive gotten rid of my m14 i want to get rid of the brass.

So ive included pics, my question is:

Do i need to worry about the blemishes on the brass?
Can it have any negative effects on structural integrity of the brass?
Is there any danger involved with these cases?
Will they have a decent reloadable life?

I have them up on the EE and have an offer and just want to make sure im not selling someone defective brass that could cause issues or danger.

Also what is a reasonable asking price for 7.14lbs of this brass its mixed headstamp mostly WW Super .308 Win brass, its all once fired tumbled, resized, and trimmed.

Also, not all of the brass is like that, maybe one in 30 pieces. Most of it is in perfect condition. Am i better off just sorting through it and removing the blemished pieces?

Some of the blemishes look more like fire marks than stains from wet grass. Frankly, you should discard all of those pictured, as already suggested. If they have been heated you don't know what the case head hardness is like. A normal load could result in a ruptured case (I know from first hand experience).
Not worth it. I would not buy them.

Yes, sort and toss. If they still look like that after tumbling, my life is not worth the $.40/pc....
