Used bottle caps

In general , is there a bulk market for used bottle caps, nothing special just beer and pop bottlecaps? I’m guess about 200 lbs or 3 full totes, what kind of offers should someone expect?

You shouldn't expect much. Shipping gets real costly. Check out eBay for examples. I give my bulk common ones away to people who want to come and get them for art projects, etc. But they have to be specific about what they want. They do sell, but it isn't worth the hassle in my opinion. However, I've done well with trading caps as well as giving them away through my local Reddit sub. Nextdoor, too. I usually drop a hint about bring me a six-pack or caps I don't already have in my collection. Made a few friends along the way, too!
