once fired brass

Of course you should always inspect cases before using them, after cleaning them well enough to see.

Local range that just opened collects brass shooters don't pickup and sells for scrap (to them not worth sorting it and selling for reloads). My buddy needed brass to reload for our handguns, they sold it to him for same price which I think is about 2.50 a lb if I remember right. that's about 100 pieces of 45acp.

somoe used brass is more valuable than others. if you ever see .44 mag brass, grab it! It's very expensive new. Experienced reloaders will pay way more than scrap prices for it, as long as it's in good condition (not cracked or bulged). I pick up all the brass I can, both mine and from others at the range who let me grab theirs, since I have a buddy who reloads. The ranges generally make decent $$ picking up all the brass, reselling the brass that's in good condition for calibers where it makes sense to reload (.380, .38, .357, .44, .40, .45, 10mm) and sell the rest as scrap. So they will get mad if you pick up brass that isn't yours or hasn't been given to you by other shooters.
