I have the opportunity to get some LC .50 brass that's once-fired, cleaned, preped, and ready to load. Anyone know what it's worth?

Weidners has primed LC for as low as 2 bucks a pop if you buy 100 of em

Polygunbags has New primed Winchester brass for 1.85 a pop

And Bartlett has the following
.50 BMG Lake City, once-fired. Just in. Lake City, mixed dates from LC03
thru LC06.
$70/100; $340/500; $660/1000; extra $0.05 each to clean and polish

--> Lake City, once-fired. LC93 headstamp, nickel plated.
Might have been shot in a bolt gun, as headspace seems good.
$1.25 each; $100/100; $475/500; $900/100

That should give you a fair idea of whats out there and the prices.

Thank's Dan, that helps a lot! I've been trolling sites but you never really know if the price is realistic or not unless you deal with it all the time.

Most of the gun shows that I've gone to have had it for $1.00 each... Hopefully since the price of brass went down we might see a little more out on the market...
