Greetings Forum Members,  I'm new to the ar's and my local gun store is selling a 30 round prebanned magazine for $60. Is this the going rate or is it overpriced? Thanks

That's insane.  I sold off my prebans this summer to NY shooters for $12-15 plus shipping.  They had new SS springs and new green followers.  I understand that this is now post-Election, but sixty bucks is insane.  Watch the equipment exchange on this website.

Believe it or not, Cheaperthandirt.com still has some 20 and 30 rd magazines in stock.  They are selling around $20 + shp for brand new magazines.  $60 is nothing but pure extortion on the fears of the upcoming change in administration.

That's a wee bit on the high side.

There's a few dozen ads for various pre-1994 mags in the equipment exchange:

it is a little high but as stated above since your in NY your pretty much stuck paying a good bit more for pre AWB mags then those of us living in free states who can buy new mags.

This spring I sold all my prebans––about 20––to shooters in NY State.  I sold them for $12-15 plus shipping.   I thought that was a fair price, considering also that I had put in new stainless steel springs and upgraded them all with green USGI followers. They were good mags for the Ban guys in NY.   I used the money to buy new USGI mags.  What I did wasn't exactly charity––I didn't give them away, but it seemed silly to have a whole ammo can full of prebans when NY'ers were starving for them.  Bottom line:  they got rebuilt prebans in good condition for a reasonable price, and I got money with which to buy new mags for the stash box.
