New levels of affluence reached!  A bag of 50 ea. Winchester 32-40 brass just sold for $201 on GB, or $4.01 each. 

I see a business opportunity here for some enterprising soul with an annealer and a good set of dies.

Brass from Starline is $0.49/round if you buy in quantity.   

Don't see how one could go wrong selling them at $1/round.

If I wasn't already dedicated to being retired I'd take it up myself.

I was thinking about reforming brass but the liability scared me off.

If you are talking about reforming brass to sell, you have brought up a valid point and will probably open up a new can of worms.

I got a notice from Midway today that .25-20 WCF has been discontinued. I looked on Midway for .25-35, but it doesn't show in a search. Showed .25-36 Marlin as out of stock, seasonal @ $2.10 per case.  Starline .32-20 is on sale, but you can buy it direct from Starline a lot cheaper.

Well, we're up to $4.95 for 32-40 Win empty brass cartridges.  Think I'll go out and shoot my 100 rounds of John Wayne ammo that I have without boxes and then put the once-fired brass up for sale!   Cheesy

schuetzenmaster was right. I listed my 32-40s for $5 each and sold over 200 pcs overnight.

I have some .375 Win and .358 Win in the white boxes with red lettering that was used before they went to the plastic bags.   
The last I looked the .375 bagged brass was $3 a round.

You can use those for 32-20 Joe.  They now hold 1/2 as much powder  Grin

You would think that every single shot guy would have a 32-20. I don't have one. I need to get a 32-20 die and a rifle and mold now?  Think I could sell them instead? 
Gotta be worth something. They got tight primer pockets..............
