How much should I ask for skanky Indonesian 380 ammo?

[angel71rs]

I went to my ammo pile to dig out a box of 380 for a range trip, saw a partial half case of Herter's 95 gr FMJ I bought during the 1st ammo crisis I had forgotten about. This stuff was really dirty. One box of it had feed jams, another was perfect except for being dirty IIRC. This was back in 2010. Only shot it in my P3AT.

I have plenty of 380 for my one 380 pistola, so wasn't planning on shooting this anymore, the cleaning after not worth it to me. So it ended up forgotten. Was thinking of putting it up for sale, with full disclosure as to it's skankiness. With the current dearth of ammo, figured someone could use it for range fodder if they can't get hold of something better.

So what would be a fair price? I have 8 boxes of this crappola. Pics:

Cheapest on ammoseek is 76 cpr. I've got a ton of .380 too. Nobody wants to buy. They just complain.

You could easily get $25 per box and nobody would complain.

Probably right but the market is higher. I could sell for $10 a box too but won't.

Wow, didn't realize prices had gotten that high.

But I wouldn't sell this stuff for that much, was thinking of offering it up here to long time members for 30 cpr seeing as how it is low quality stuff. I think that's about what I paid for it back then.

If no takers, put it up elsewhere for maybe 50 cpr.

That might be equitable.

I don't need any 380, but I think that someone who needs 380 practice ammo would gladly pay 30 cpr. I also think you get karma points for helping a fellow TGT'r out.

I don't have any experience with Herter's .380, but I shot a lot of it in .32 acp and it always went bang. A little dirty, perhaps.
Since you asked, I would likely ask $25-$30 per 50 rds or use it for range ammo.

If it is as bad as you say how much are you willing to pay someone to take it.

I will give you 50 cents for any pre 1964 quarters that you have. Obviously you would be stupid to accept my offer. Go with the going price because what you "give away" will possibly be sold to someone else at a profit. People who buy a $2000 1911 can buy a box of ammo.

That's why I'd offer it 1st to long time members to try to avoid any recent joins just looking to flip.

edit: I put it up in classified section.
