Value of these shotgun shells

I have many boxes of these as well that were given to me, along with Canuck brand. AFAIK, they are almost worthless. All the IVI high brass stuff packs a pretty good wallup though.
Someone else may be able to tell you better as to their actual value.

Some more info on these shells;
IVI Industries Valcartier Inc. (1977–Present) - Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec, Canada. In 1935, an ammunition manufacturing facility called Val-Rose was built on the grounds of the disused World War 1-era Valcartier Military Camp.[10] From 1945 to 1967 the facility was part of Canadian Arsenals Ltd. and specialized in small arms ammunition.[10] It was privatized as Industrie Valcartier Incorporee in 1967. It bought out Imperial, CIL's commercial cartridge division, in 1976.[11] It was acquired by SNC-Lavalin (SNC Tec) in 1980, which renamed it IVI Inc.[10] The IVI plant in Valcartier ceased making commercial ammunition in 1988. IVI Inc. was later amalgamated into General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems - Canada Inc. in 1989.[12] The Valcartier plant finally closed in 1991.[10]
C-I-L or CIL Canadian Industries Ltd. (1955-1976). A corporation formed in 1910 from a merger of five Canadian explosives companies and their assets. It ran the Defence Industries Ltd. munitions plants from 1940 to 1946. It owned the Dominion, Imperial and Canuck commercial ammunition brands. It used the CIL headstamp on its cartridges from 1955(?) until 1976, when IVI bought out its commercial ammunition production.

Although not mentioned, they did, and may still manufacture ammunition for the CF.

Yah they are nothing special. I have boxes of 20 gauge kicking around somewhere.
Since lead is verboten, I think you would be lucky o get $15
They were sold at every Canadian tire store in Canada and then some. I am sure anyone over 50 has a box or three stashed away somewhere

No.4 lead $7-10 a box if you can find someone that could use them What would one use no.4 lead for today???
Boxes are not the type or style collectors are looking for either
Probally best just to use them on targets

You have to start somewhere. Better o be over priced and work your way down than under priced and ending up selling it for less than its worth. Prices, in the end, are set by what some people are willing to pay.
Remember when Canada bought a painting of 3 stripes for $1,800,000.....I'm sure I could paint one for $1.89

Lots of it around.No great value.
Sometimes I wonder where the sellers of firearms related stuff get their prices from on those US sites.Wonder if anyone will pay $65.00 a box.Good luck to them.
Those old #4 shotshells work wonders on gophers!
At gun shows, you can usually buy them for around $10-15 a box. I've bought lots of lead shotshells for $5 a box. The way I shoot, they are plenty good enough for shooting "at" clay pigeons.

They're fun to use in bush for casual clay shooting.
I have some of those and some in #2 lead shot too. Healthy recoil!
I have some # 5 lead too. Would be awesome on snowshoe hares if I lived anywhere near hare hunting areas. Or pheasants I guess, if I hunted those.
