What are they worth ??

[schick]

I picked up a pile of Estate shotgun shells years ago, with the intention of reloading them. As I have never reloaded shotgun before, multiple people have told me to go with something common instead.

I can't even remember what I paid for them (old, poor memory). I would like to sell them, but have no idea what 950+ hulls by Estate are worth. I don't want to get rich on these, but also don't feel right just giving them away. Could someone give me an idea on their value so I can post these on the EE?

Seems a shame to have them just sit in my basement for another 8 years.

There was someone selling a barrel of them in the EE quite a while ago...8 months to a year would be my guess. You could try a search of the word barrel or drum.

Searched for estate, barrel, and drum as far back as 18 months. No dice.


I actually don't know what the usual hulls go for nowadays. Our local store (WSS) has had any hulls for ages. Where do people usually get hulls, online?

I get 'em by the hundreds for free from my local trap range...

Well maybe I should just give them away, and just eat the financial loss.

Sell... we burn barrels of them every year at the SGC.

Yea...they're definately not in demand right now. I just dumped part of a 45 gallon drum at our range into 2 boxes. There are probably about 1000 in each one. I don't even have the stuff to reload 12 gauge. I figured it would be a prudent thing to have a supply of empties around just in case the shot shell world goes as nuts as the primer world has for us rifle/pistol shooters. I also picked up 200 primers just to have on the shelf. Good God....they want $63.99/1000 for 12 gauge primers
