Crate ammo value estimate

[Hadda]

I have a crate of 1200 rds of non corrosive 762x39 ball. I cant find anything non corrosive and comparable for sale in Canada right now.
Whats the community consensus on how much I should ask for it on the EE?

 

[shuraparabellum]

Not enough information

What's the mfr/factory/headstamp ? How is it packaged -box or paper-wrap ? How old is it ? Wooden crate or spam can? What's the bullet weight/composition ? WHERE ARE YOU ?

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Crate... of non-corrosive? When I read crate I read milsurp. I've seen retailers selling brass cased/berdan primed (yugo?) crates before that they listed as non-corrosive but was deemed by many people to be in fact corrosive. I have a crate of "non-corrosive" I bought from CanadaAmmo years ago that I never opened. After they'd sold a pile of it, some customers said it was in fact corrosive and CanAm gave people who bought it a in-store credit for the price difference at the time of corrosive vs. non.

So, as stated above, a picture or two, and/or a better description will help immensely. Corrosive is about 35c/round currently (1200 rounds = $425ish). Non-corrosive is around 50c a round

Norinco white box non-corrosive came in two 600 round clear plastic sleeves in a cardboard box.

That the only "crate" of 1200 NC 7.62x39 that I'm familiar with.

IIRC the seller told me it was Saudi surplus. Crate is sealed so I dont have info on headstamps

Chinese ammo made for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

The ammo was made at 791 in ChongQing according to Canada Ammo in 2011.
the head stamp will be "CBCC 7.62x39 05" and boxes inside look like this, Made in 2005, Could be non corrosive, Could not. But there is so little information on this ammo the only real way to know would be a nail test.
The crate in the photo also shows the consignee as Canada Ammo. Some members here may remember buying some. Was most likely before my time.
I found one reddit post from 9 years ago "My crates of surplus copper washed non-corrosive Chinese-made x39 marked "Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Ministry of the Interior, Riyadh" beg to differ."

...23 pounds. Final offer.

Do the nail test and get on with it!

That's a lot of 'thumpin' for something you'll prob have to wash after using.

He wants to sell it - - " BUYER BEWARE " . . . and expect the worst.

 

[Craig0ry]

I myself would wager its not corrosive, Being from 05 and made for the Saudi Arab kingdom. I could see them requesting NC.

 

[gewehr76]

That ammo is non corrosive. I have shot fair amount of it and its very consistent. some of the best stuff.

I've been on here for a long time and had almost exclusively positive interactions. Not looking to rip anyone off.

 

[Hadda]

Thanks for the input everybody. I'll either crack the case and test it myself or sell it with some kind of clause.

I wasn't inferring that, just saying if it's un-opened and not tested it's a gamble. It seems gewehr76 is familiar with the package ?

 

[infidel29]

Split the difference and list for $0.45 per round. That's a fair price.
