I'm not real keen on posting items for sale in the EE and I'm not knowledgable enough to answer my own question so I'll ask here first.
First some background: The guy who owns the range where I shoot asked me, last time I was out, if I was interested in some mags for my AR. They're 30 round mags so
I'm not. I told him I'd be willing to put them up for him, provided I could, and attempt to sell them on the EE.
The reason I'm not so sure about it is that these mags are marked on the side
"RESTRICTED MILITARY/GOV'T/LAW ENFORCEMENT/EXPORT USE ONLY"
|
Does this mean it's a no-no to sell them? They're nearly new Kay industries 30 round mags with green followers and I've got almost 30 of them. I'd hate to tell him "no can do Jefferey" because I'm not going to buy them and I know he could use the money.
(
BTW, he wants 10 bucks a piece for them and I don't know if that's even a fair price.)
*********************************************************************Okay, here's what I'm doing. These are the pics I just took of the mags that I'll be posting in the EE. As you can see from the first pic, I have a total of 28 30-round mags:
The two mags on the top right are the ones that I'm throwing into the lot. Those are Center Industries Corp. 30 round mags.
The rest are K Industries. Inc. 30 round mags
And the K Industries mags are all marked as in the really crappy picture below (best I could do to enhance the writing)
The two Center Industries mags have each been used once. The other mags, I'm not certain how many times that they've been used but, the only wear on them is the type of wear you'd expect from a bunch of magazines rubbing against one another in a bag. There are one or two that have obviously been inserted in a rifle at some point, at least once. That's about the best description I can give for those.
All of the money I get from these is going to Jeffery, including the two mags that I'm throwing into the lot (hey, the guy lets me shoot at his range for free).
Before I put these in the EE I've had the following people indicate that they'd like some:
Quoted: I'd probably be up for 5+.

Quoted: I'd like to grab some also.
|
Quoted: I'd like to grab 4 locally if possible.

So that's, by my count, 9 mags for sure and ???
I want to give first dibs to you guys and I want to post an accurate number of available mags in the EE so, if you want some, please let me know exactly how many you want. I have
no idea how much it costs to ship magazines and I'd
prefer to let someone in one of those gun hating states get the non-marked mags. My intention is to sell these for $10.00 each +
actual shipping. Or, if you want to come to Augusta you can save the trouble of shipping costs.
I do not have a pay-pal account, the wife does though. She's willing to let me use her paypal account for this but I'm leary of having some ass-hat say the wrong thing resulting in her account being locked up. I'm not sure about the best way to handle the actual receiving of money other than USPS money orders.
Any advice here would be hot.
And anyone of you guys who've indicated that you want some, please let me know exactly how many you want. For those of you who already have, I'll email you or IM you so we can figure out the shipping/meeting up/whateva.
Thanks,
- Chuck
[email protected]One last thing: I'd like to post these to the EE in an official "no sales in the hometown forum" type of way as soon as possible. I appreciate your taking the time to read this and replying in a timely manner.
