Recycling old brass

Re: Recycling old brass

Haven't checked into prices around here lately but was wondering what the requirements are for accepting rifle/pistol brass from others. Last time I sold which was 4-5 yrs ago the local buyer required that all primers must be removed whether spent or not. He just wouldn't take anything that wasn't for fear of some live primers. Anyone ever sold rimfire brass? Just curious.

I had a 5 gallon bucket full of range brass, took it in and they gave me $1.80ish a pound. They never said anything about the primers.
