I notice on all of the ammo from WA the description says "has been through a heated popper". Does anyone know what that means and does it affect the reuse of the case?
My "guess" is that it's heated to discharge any unfired ammo but I don't know for certain.

Yes, the heat will discharge any unfired rounds. Unfortunately, the heat may also mess with the temper of the brass, making it useless for anything other than scrap metal. In fact, a lot of brass goes through a "popper" and then a "deformer" to make it worthless for reloading so that it can be legally exported as scrap.
You can find auctions that specifically state that the brass has NOT been though a popper - I'd probably focus on those.
