577/500 Bertram unprimed brass ?

Greetings everyone I have come across 18 unprimed 577/500 Bertram brass casings. I was wondering what my best option would be for reselling. On Midway USA they do not have any in-stock but each are running $6.50 for each which the above would calculate to a $117 face value. Wasn't sure if there is a market for these rounds anymore or where the best place to post them at?

Thanks in advance.

You can try eBay or Gunbroker.

Ah! It used to be a path. Thanks for posting their current policy.

I should mention the OP can, as a member in good standing, of course, use TFL's Gunshow forum or this forum to try to sell them.

What length are the cases?
I know someone looking for 577-500 3-1/8".

You may be able to bypass the auction and classified listings altogether.

FrankenMauser let me measure them for you and I'll post some pictures as well after I get off duty tomorrow when I finish my 12 hour special.

@blackhawk44 Awesome I will have to do that as well if FrankenMauser's contact doesn't want to buy them.

Yes Sir it is 3 and 1/8" length. I tried posting a picture of the brass but it said security token missing even though it was a jpeg picture. But, yes it has the Kangaroo symbol at the back of the casing they are unprimed, and when measuring the end of the length is the first small line after the 3" mark for it being 3- 1/8". I can email pictures to you.

You can PM FrankenMauser. Just click on his name where it is underlined in blue in the box to the left of his posts, and select "Send a private message to Frankenmauser" from the flyout menu. That way you can discuss sale details privately if they happen.

Sorry, guys. I got busy with some things and forgot about this.
PM received.

Mr.XD9mm, edit your post and delete your email address, unless you want spam from every corner of the internet.
