I have 4 m-14/m1a mags I dont need. Not sure of the origin. I want to list them on the EE for sale/trade. What is a fair value?

You need to show the welds on the mags. That tells quite a bit about them and who made them.
ETA The mag catch is not welded on but stamped. That's not good IMO.

Stamped mag catch = NFG.
Should sell for $5 and you pay the shipping.

Yep, they look like the old USA magazines. Cheap and flimsy, functioned very poorly by most accounts.
Sell the whole lot for $20. (I wouldn't buy them at that price)
sorry to be blunt.
ETA- They're not rifle magazines, they're armored 20 round ammo boxes to replace the paper ones.
OK, I shouldn't make fun but yeah.

They are inexpensive imports. I got a few like those with a rifle and I gave them away to guys that wanted to fuck with them.
New CMI (usgi) mags are $28 for 20 rounder and $36 for 25 rounders at 44mag.com
New Taiwan T57 20 rounders are about $15, these are pretty good mags, welded tabs.

Aftermarket mag.Not worth much if anything really.With G.I. CMI mags readily available new for $26 and various korean and taiwanese as well as better constructed aftermarket mags going for 12-15.There's just no demand for them.Also given the horrible rep of those type mags,stamped mag catch,they don't hold much value even as beater range mags.I wouldn't pay more than $2 apiece shipped.

Throw them away or use them for targets.

They're essentially worthless. No self-respecting M-14 pattern rife owner will buy them, because they'll be teh fail.

Likely pre ban USA brand Mags. Pre ban may make them useful to someone in ban states, where pre ban mags can still be purchased, and rebuilt if they are damaged or destroyed. In such a place, perhaps you could find an interested buyer. Imagine if the buyer, through carelessness or misfortune damged the USA Mags. He could then purchased rebuild kits from 44MAG.

I just see floor plates on the 44mag.com web site for M14 magazine parts.
