Just trying to find out what you guys think.......

How much do you think used 30 rd USGI mags are worth? I have seen them on the EE for a lot of different prices. These mags are not pretty, but function well. Most have green followers. I have 25 Center Lines, and about 15 O Kay's....


so,.......what do you guys think would be a fair price to ask for them....

$15 to $20ish.....forget the green followers, the new hype is the Magpul no tilt ones.

I would say $10-12 for used USGI mags.

I'd say less than $10.00 ea since you can get new USGI 30's for $10.00ea if you buy in quanity.

The finish on these are quite worn.....does that make a difference to folks? I know it doesn't affect function, and it really doesn't matter to me, cause I'll just refinish them.

NIW mags can be had for ~$15 and it doesn't take too much looking.

Finish matters to some people.  I don't care too much, but when I see a mag with almost no finish it makes me question how hard the mag has been used.  It makes me think of things like maybe needing to replace the spring.  I factor that into the total cost of the mag.  If a 30-rounder has almost no finish left, I personally wouldn't be too interested unless the price is a little under $10, like maybe $8.00 per mag.  But that's just me.

I also wouldn't be real interested in buying mags that are very worn without being able to examine them first.  A well used mag might start showing signs of feed lips cracking/spreading.
