I've paid more than $.04 per case for new 223 brass converted to 300/221 over what I could have bought the 223 cases for and thought nothing of it. It's still a lot cheaper than most of the brass I shoot. Bought any 338-378 Weatherby brass lately?

I'd prefer to just buy cases from someone making 300-221 out of new 223 brass than go though the hassle of buying cases, shipping them, waiting, then shipping them back. Hopefully they would select a brand of brass to give the appropriate neck thickness.
I don't care about the headstamp as there is not much brass you could confuse with a 300/221 case.

Your friend is no businessman. Just handling the cases ought to be worth more than $.04. If he starts getting large orders for what he's doing it's going to seem like work and he'll either quit or have to raise his price.
