5Redman8Old Ammo from estate....PICS
From an estate that I am helping with.
2 boxes of Western Super X 25-35 117gr soft point. One box full and one with 18 + 2 fired
Remington Leanbore Priming Du Pont 38-40 180gr Soft Point 50ct
Remington 32-20 100gr SP 30ct
Remington 44-40 200gr SP Full
Juhn Wayne Winchester 32-40 165gr SP Full and MINT
Norma 7.7 Jap 180 SPPBT 2 boxes full
I need help with prices, so I can list them in the classifieds.
Thanks,
Kyle

Except for the Duke commemorative, the ammo is very ordinary and is worth less than the currect price of new stuff. Considering that UPS shipping can run as much as $12 a box, you could have a hard time selling it. I'd put it on one of the auction sites where anything could happen.
The Duke ammo can be worth anywhere from $30 a box and up. I have seen a box go as high as $75. Right now there are several boxes for sale on Auction Arms so the box may not bring as much at this time.

5Redman8Ray,
Thanks a bunch. Looks like I will take it to my local gunshop and let them use it.

No no no, Don't take it to a gun shop, not while you have the perfect excuse to buy 4 or 5 new (to you) rifles to shoot it in.

IconoclastYou should be able to get at least $1 / round for the 7.7 Jap ammo sold as a lot.

5Redman8Tailgunner,
As a part of clearing this estate, I have gotten around 10,000 22LR shells. Therefore, I HAVE to buy another 22 to shoot it. So a rifle for 50-100 shells is hard to justify.... :-)

TailgunnerFind a good die set at a cheep price, time to buy a new gun so you can use the dies.
Given a couple boxes of ammo that dosn't fit anything you own, time to buy a new gun.
Going hunting in a new place, or for something you have never hunted before, time to buy a new gun.
ANY excuse is a good excuse to buy new toys
(thank goodness I have a wife that understands me)

Don't forget, when all other excuses run out - buy a new gun for the wife.

I've used that one on several occasions, for guns I wanted.
She does have her house gun (snubby 44spl), deer rifle (7mm-08), and she recently sold her skeet gun (12ga Citori), all of which she picked out on her own.
On the flip side, for special occasions she asks if I want some new cartridges for my collection, or another barrel for my Encore. Ya, I got a good one
Have you got kids ? One of them must need a new gun ?
It truly would be immoral to sell that ammo when someone in your family could use for their personal gratification.....
