Top Brass
Posted: Wed Jun 10, 2026 8:48 am
A while ago I was given some short lengths of round and hexagonal brass bar.
I will never use it all on my lathe, so I would like to sell it and give some money back to the kindly neighbour who gave it to me.
If I take it to a scrap yard, I will get about a quarter of what it is worth, compared to selling it on ebay.....but I would have to ask a lot for postage on ebay.
The regular sellers on ebay seem to be able to sell heavy stuf post free.
Is there any other way I could sell it to get a reasonable amount of money?
The round bar is about 7/8" diameter, and the hexagon is 1 1/8" across the flats, plus a few smaller bits. The lengths vary from 6" to 15".
Thanks for any suggestions.
