Is fired military surplus (5.56 and 7.62x51) brass useful to reloaders?

Dangit, I have a thread on the firearms board but just realized there was a dedicated reloading forum here! Doh. Anyway, I have several hundred rounds each of mixed lot military surplus ammo that I fired out of my AR15 and M1A and saved the brass. I notice there are several different heastamps on them, Is that a concern to people who might buy it from me for reloading? I was thinking of putting it on the classifieds but thought I would ask first. It is mostly surplus but also has some retail ammo brass mixed in.
 
the primers will be crimped and that is a tad bit of a pain
I would just advertise it as mixed head stamp or you could sort it and sell the commercial stuff separate which would also be a pain sorting it.

No, it's no good at all, and you should send all of it to me. hehehe

I have found that after you deal with the crimped primer issue, it is more consistent and durable than most of the "cheap" stuff(remington,winchester, Fed) out there.
