What’s 7.62x39 tracer worth these days ??

 

[Deathrawt]

A couple years back I bought a spam can of it and it was a buck a round
Prob worth a bit more now?

 

[Robert Nicholson]

I want some!
Had an opportunity to get 20 rounds at a gun show for $30 but passed because I thought it was too much.

I was curios on pricing as have a crate less a few boxes, but may just hold onto for awhile

I wouldn't sell it for less than $2 a pop in box-size lots.

I could see this being reasonable.

There’s no more coming in so it’s a very limited supply.

I wouldn’t bother selling mine for less than $2 a round. I don’t think I’d sell any of my other tracer as I don’t have much and it’s scarce.

At some point it's not worth anything if you don't shoot it or sell it. It's like Schrodinger's Ammo.

I've got 300+ rounds of 8mm tracer, amongst others, that I should do something with.

Queue up the “is it illegal to shoot at night” thread lol

But yeah, you do have a point. Sometimes I am really just hoarding stuff for no reason.

LOL.

If they'd let me shoot my Bren I could take of that tracer and a pile of other 8mm surplus.

Lol your right , haven’t been shooting to I think I’ll look at selling the crate of tracer , not doing any good collecting dust

Switzer's Auction has had a couple of auction lots in the past year. Generally, tracer rounds sell for twice or three times what an FMJ would be.

I had 9 crates of the stuff. Sold them early at $600 a crate before prices started taking off lol. Sure was an eye opening experience to see what bullets do when fired at different targets. Or when you miss your target. For $2 a round I think you’re looking at small lots. Larger lots I’d expect cheaper. $1 each is too much for me. Even $600 for a case of 1520 was too much for me lol. But I just considered them a novelty. To each their own I guess.
