They're most likely selling it for scrap...
Or, using the shell casings for bullet jackets.
It is definitely possible to reload rimfire ammo, but there are many risks and a lot of time involved.
One of the most over-looked risks, is that of a pierced rim. If the first time the cartridge was fired, the rim was pierced... The second time it is fired, you are going to get some nice hot gasses escaping. Should this pierced-rim-round be fired in a recoil operated auto-loader; you're likely to end up with a ruptured case.
