Old 30-30 ammo value

[ILoveBigRacks]

A buddy in Winnipeg is going through his father's estate and has some older 30-30 ammo as well as some 12ga stuff to get rid of. No idea how much he might get for 30-30, $10/box maybe?

I'm not sure of age, whether it would be classified as "vintage" or not, but he said there are about 200 rounds, most with some tarnishing to brass. 12ga I'm not sure of.

At the very very least a buck a round.
$10 a box is a gift.

With most centrefire I'd agree, but looking online at Cabelas that 30-30 ammo is comparatively cheap, only $25/box new, I myself wouldn't buy some old tarnished stuff for $20/box. Maybe $15, not sure. Might just be the excuse I've been looking for to pick up an old Model 94, lol.

Ammo generally does not go bad. I would start at $18

I'd buy it at $10 a box for plinking.

Why do I say plinking? Because with the advent of LeverEvolution ammunition, I think there are better choices for hunting & accuracy nowadays.

Not that there is anything wrong with the old stuff...

If your buddy is selling old, tarnished ammo at close to retail, he may have it for a while. What is his/your time worth?

$10.00 a box or $75.00 for all of it.

Of course, shipping ammo is a pain, so local sale is the fast & easy answer, which further reduces your buyer base.

I think at 16 -20$ a box or 150$ for the lot it will sell pretty quickly to a local buyer where no shipping is required.

I paid $15.00 a box for some old Dominion 270 ammo at the last gun show I went to.
