Agreed, primers and powder are the hardest to come by, but also agreed, some specialty brass is also harder to find, because people are shooting the oddballs less, due to supply chain issues. Sure, put it up for sale - you'll probably get some bites. Heck, people are buying 9mm and 5.56mm brass right now, too.
The only thing that has been hard for me to find is primers and 357 mag brass. Powder selection has been limited, but I have always been able to find something. Longest wait on bullets was about 2 months. But they mostly seem to be in stock now too.
If you want to get into reloading it's not impossible by any means, just a bit challenging. I would still with straight wall pistol cartridges starting out, as they are a lot easier than bottle necked rifle

Why would you not get a press and get set up to reload, at least over a few months when you can find what you need. Brass and bullets are pretty much available now. Powder, less so and primers less. But it is loosening up and I have seen prices fall. Presses are more available too.
Not so much. Sorted is important, dirty does not matter, package is easy, shipping is covered by the buyer.
I buy my brass from No Bull Tactical. It comes diry, swept up off indoor range floors, sorted, and dumped into 1gal ziplock bags with the mouths taped closed. 9mm is going for $59.99 per 1000 plus shipping and tax. Just bought 1000pcs of 38spl for $64.99 ended up being about $85 with shipping and tax. I decap, wet tumble, and it looks like new.

Now is a good time to sell. A year ago was better. But if you're going to sell it, now is a good time.

Primers are hard to find, and expensive if you do. Brass is not much of a problem.
I bought a Frankford Armory wet tumbler at a pawn shop for $60 and it got me thinking about cleaning and sorting it. I think I have about 4-5 5 gallon paint buckets full of brass.
I've considered reloading for years but I always have another project or hobby. I think if I ever do it, it'll be for the M1 Garands and magnum revolver cartridges. Hard to justify reloading the common stuff unless you have a fancy progressive press.

wet tumblers are fantastic. just keep in mind they also have to dry. nocking out the primers first seems to speed things up a lot.

Brownells was advertising SPP on their site, but for $125 per thousand...
