    Ammo cans?

    Have you guys got more ammo cans coming on any time soon? Surplus stores seem to have it in their heads that used ammo cans are worth $40/piece!!

    The prices are way up at the surplus auctions FYI

    We may get another batch of new ones this summer. The US$ is really making prices go up.

    How much do you think the PA108s will go up by?

    Its hard to believe that a simple tin box sells for that much. They should be a $10.00 item when new.

    Picked up a .50 cal can there that looked like it had never been used. That said, they also had some other sizes that looked like they had used hard.

    I really wish I needed more of these. The place my wife works has them for just under $30 for the .50 cal ones, with her staff discount they are about $16 each (used surplus).
    I do agree with the guy who said they should be $10 new. They are just metal boxes, it's not like a lot of materials had to go into them or a lot of fancy manufacturing.


    edit: lol I have to laugh at the ones on the canadian amazon site for $79.99. I can't see anyone ever paying that much for them. Maybe if they were made of gold....

    Oops, sorry CanAm, I didn't even clue in that this ammo can topic I commented on was in a dealer's section. My comments were only meant as surprise at the prices at the place I mentioned, they were in no way meant as a jab at whatever prices you charge when you have them in stock.
