Where in GA? I am visiting my parents in Macon next weekend and I have some USGI mags with green followers I'd like to unload for that price.

GI mags going for $25 - $30 at the gun shows here. 30 rds of 855 going for $25 - $30.

You gave someone a good deal.

Hell no, that's a damn fair price even when the country isn't losing it's fucking mind.

That should have been $50 easy. A year ago I wouldn't have paid $20 for that but prices are insane right now.

No, you're a sucker. You coulda got twice that.

I spent 40$ on a pre ban 30 rd mag empty... fucking commiechusetts

I feel stupid. I let 15 go today at the gun show for $20 each. 3 bundles of 5. Cheapest vendor had them at $25 ea. I guess I'm a softie.

It took an hour and a half. The ones paying attention jumped on it. The hundred dollar bill flew out of their wallet.

Looking at a Rossi Win 92 in in .38 now that I have a nice down on one.

53 votes and no love for pie? I am disappoint, and no OP you're not a bad guy. If they paid it, they chose to pay it.

For the mag alone. They're topped off with green tips. Those aren't always readily available. 40 cents a round isn't bad at all

nope. somebody was willing to buy them, and were probably happy to score them.

Hell, I took a 200 rd sealed pack of M193 to a show 2 weeks ago. Didn't even make it to the back of the line to get in before a guy offered me $150. Dude right behind him offered $175. I took the $175, turned around and took my buddies out to breakfast.. I paid $64 for that stuff just last May. And my friends were giving me shit, saying I could have got $200 or more. And they're probably right.

I saw 3 at a local pawn shop for $79.99 each

Anything brass-cased M855 is selling at .70-.80 per round.

I sold empty GI aluminum mags for $30/piece. I think you coulda made another $14 off that deal.

Mags already filled with ammo?
Better hope you don't see this guy you sold the stuff to on the news anytime soon.

You broke even on current replacement costs.

Current going rate for a USGI 30rd magazine is about $22 or so... Current going rate (Wal-Mart) for Winchester 5.56mm 55gr FMJ is $12.27 per box of 20rds ($18.41 per 30rds)... You about broke even for replacement costs... However, since you sold SS109 green tip M855 ammo, which currently costs MORE than that if you can find it - I'd say you got SCREWED. Could've gotten $50 or more...
