I live in Norfolk, VA and there are gun shows about every month within a 200 mile radius, with most of them within 90 miles of my home. When I first heard about the HK mags, the very next show I paid $39.95+tax for my first one. Since then, my price point at the shows to beat has been $38.00. On average, I've seen $40 for them, with NONE ever asking over $54.95 (the HK dealer). The gunshows here are very crowded, lots of military dollars, and any retailer/dealer that isn't willing to move, even a little bit, goes home product rich and cash poor.
I agree that they're nice, and I've used two of them at a carbine course, but for they price they were NO MORE reliable over 3 days and 1300 ish rounds than my new 30s with MagPul gen 1 followers. There are no huns, commies, sand jockies, or barbarians coming over the horizon at me, so I've settled on 10 HKs, and I'm putting the rest of my money in NEW USGIs. Being active duty USN, I'm taking advantage of any discounts that I get from ARFCOM board retailers, which with the current price wars, normal humans can achieve, too.
Oh, and as a price point for "used" USGI, I'm seeing $8 and am able to talk down to the $3-$5 range when I'm willing to buy 10+ (bought another 20 yesterday in Richmond)!
