Actually, those are aftermarket Mini-30 magazines, and most of them were junk, so $5.00 might be about right...

Couldn't find where Ruger ever made an O.E.M. 30rd mag. Not any 20 or 30rd mags on Rugers web site. They only sell 5rd mags. After doing a google search for Ruger mini-30 - 30rd mags. Only show after market mag. Anywhere from $15.00 to $32.00. Do you know where I can get an original 30rd Ruger Mini-30 mag? Also these mags I have hold 32-7.62x39rds. But please get back with me.

That is correct. Ruger never made a 30-rounder for the Mini-Thirty, and curtailed the sale of 20-rounders years ago, even before the "Assault weapon ban" was enacted, IIRC.  Factory 20-round Mini-Thirty mags are therefore quite rare and will fetch a premium when they do come up for sale.

The only aftermarket Ruger rifle mags worth a crap, IME, are from PMI. I'm not sure if they ever made mags for the Mini-Thirty, though, or just the Mini-14. The others (Western, National, Black Warrior, ProMag, Triple K) are hit-or-miss (mostly miss!) when it comes to quality and reliability. The mags put out by USA Magazines are only suitable for use as doorstops or range targets.
