Norinco 1600 for less than $450?

Just got off the phone with Reliable and they gave me a quote to Cowtown of $40 using Canpar: that's a combo of 52lbs weight and size of the crate. That's still a deal at roughly $440. According to them , the 40 or so crates they have in stock are all spam cans.

Well I just found the most expensive place for a crate of 1600 rnds.

LOL yea I was there last week. I told them there price was crazy. I told them I paid 419 for it at Del and he was like no way..theres no way tat its the same, its probably 800. I laughed at him and told him no, then hes like I don't know how because our cost is more then that. I laughed and left
What is the current wholesale cost delivered per case and what mark up would be considered fair? And by current I mean right now so if there is a good wholesale source of this and other surplus ammo please contact us . Phil.
As a follow up to my question and comment I would like to share the following. Some ammunition (I'll stick to ammo since thats the topic) is limited on who can import it. Most retailers who sell direct to the puplic do not import their ammo but buy it from one sometimes two sources. There are only a few importers of bulk ammo (surplus) and in some cases they are direct retailing it as well. The availability of surplus ammo varies wildly from everyone has it and discounting kicks in in an effort to move large quantities in a short time frame(so the original bill to the retailer can be paid on time) to there is no product available. There is a misconception that everyone (retailers) buy the ammo at the same price and this would be incorrect. Wholesale pricing is determined who is buying(previous payment and volume history), how much your buying (skids of ammo are less expensive to ship per case than smaller shipments) and how soon you can pay the bill. Sometimes a big box store like Canadian Tire or Wholesale Sports will buy a truckload and blow it out as a loss leader making it seem like other (smaller dealers) are gouging when the real story is they paid more. Sometimes however there is a shortage of product on the market and a dealer will have inventory they want to jack up the price (gouging) because no one else has product. This last tactic is short sighted and will work against the retailer in the long run. Phil.

I just picked up a crate at $429.99 from accuracy plus in Peterborough Ontario not sure if they Ship though, might be worth a try, they had at least 30 crates left.
