If I had an oppurtunity to purchase a case(100) of 30 round, non-windowed PMags what kind of deal should I get?  Or what would you pay for them?  
Sorry for the noobie question and if I am in the wrong section please steer me the right direction.

I would guess around $1000 to $1200 is would be dealer price. So tack on some extra $$ for the dealer and a little more for the high demand right now and thier you go.

Thanks, Lucky.  So if I wanted to make this an investment, what would be a fair price to sell to an individual?  For example, what would the price be if I sell one mag and/or if I sell multiple mags?

Right now they're not that hard to find and it's getting easier. I ordered some Friday at $14.95 each and a flat $7 shipping charge. As an investment, I'd hold onto them to see if we get an obama ban. They're not going to lose value and each one is date stamped. Easy to tell pre and post obama. Hard telling what a post ban price would be, double??

Thanks, I just don't want to "sit on" them if I have to but I also don't want to be a price gouger either.  Just want to be fair and maybe make a couple of bucks.

1200 - 1300 is a fair market value for a volume buy, if you can get them cheaper, then go for it.

If I was the seller I would not let them go for less than 1300 for the case ,because I could sell them all day for 14.95 per mag.

They're $12.97each at Brownells with the MIL/LEO/FFL/state-tax-ID/etc discount.

If you have an actual dealer lined up that can get then for you at their cost, which I'm assuming is somewhat below what mega-dealer Brownells sells them for, that's good.

If you're planning on asking a random dealer to sell you a case at a discount, good luck, and don't take it personally when they laugh at you.

"Fair" price = $14.95 each. You can check the EE to see what others are selling theirs for.

@knoxco  if you do get them at that price your best bet is to go to a gun show and sell them for $19.95 apiece or $.50 cheaper than anyone else. Gun show prices are still higher than what you find on the interweb depending on the show and location.

I tried the gun show route and still did not sell as many as I thought I would.  Funny thing is, I did not see any vendors have them for sale out of maybe 500+/- tables.  Maybe I will post in the EE and try my luck.  Thanks for all the responses/suggestions.
