A local place generates quite a bit of brass dust/shavings. I use it for filling voids and I like the organic look it gives. Would anyone else be interested in buying some?

LOL - I could make a million bucks selling this stuff! (Work at an auto dealership & clean the key machine in exchange for the cuttings.) Takes a pittance to fill even large cracks and I've got several peanut jars full.

I'd get fired if I collected shavings from our machines - titanium and aircraft grade aluminum. We recycle the shavings and the titanium is worth quite a bit.

I would be up for some, depending upon cost!
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.

Ditto here. Is it actually dust, or is it shavings? Shavings and filings usually sell for about $12/LB shipped on Ebay. Dust would be nice, the finer the better.
