Identifying surplus ammo
I have an unopened spam can of ammo that I am looking to sell. How can I determine what I have by the can markings?

Re: Identifying surplus ammo
I honestly have no idea what it sells for. Cant find any for sale. What is a fair price? Can I even ship this stuff legally?bunkysdad wrote:How much do you want for the can?

Re: Identifying surplus ammo
Still looking to sell this ammo. Can someone give me an idea of what to ask for it? I cant find any like it for sale to gauge the value of it. I am in the peoples republic of NY, are there any hoops I need to jump through to sell this? TIA for any help.
Re: Identifying surplus ammo
It's selling for 30-40 cents per cartridge right now, so about $150 for the can.
If you live near me I would gladly pick it up and give it a good home.
