I've got more shotgun shells than I'll ever use and a neighbor is interested in taking some of it off my hands. We're talking mostly high brass birdshot (12 ga)and some other odds and ends. How would you go about setting a price? Would you look at Walmart prices and sell at 3/4 of that?
BTW I like the guy OK but I certainly don't owe him any favors.

I wish I were closer. I use high brass for crows.

Keep it for the wife. If u have enough, Ammo is better than life insurance or gold.
I would sell it for full normal prices but not the inflated prices we see today.
But I agree with the post above of keeping it. Ammunition is a commodity that is high in value when times are tough.
I use mostly 20 and the extra stuff I want to get rid of is 12.Originally Posted by brushsjigs
That seems reasonable but I don't know what it would cost normally. A box of Remington Long Range is $17 currently at Academy. What's normal?
I also agree with Transom. Just selling them to your neighbor is a deal for him. He is close by, does not have to get in his vehicle to drive somewhere and hope he can get ammo. He's saving time, money, gas, etc. Don't sell it short.
I was driving out to Cabelas here in Mass a couple of times a week to try to get ammo. Well, I did some calculations and it was costing me $12 in gas every trip I made. With them limiting us to 5 boxes, it really wasn't worth it to drive there and hope they had ammo to buy. One week we went out there four times and managed ammo once. Still cost $50 worth of gas for those 4 trips.

How many boxes we talking about ?

I've got a little but of everything but not a lot of any one thing. Not more than 4 boxes of any of them. It's more a box of this, a box of that, a box of slugs, a little buckshot....
I'd just walk through a store, look at the shelves if they are barren id ask about that much maybe round up for tax, if it's on the shelf I'd ask that price or round down a bit for simplicity. Looking at the prices on the shelf for similar ammo. I wouldn't fret brand or weight/velocity

Keep them just incase. Having to much ammo is not a issue
No such thing as" to much ammo" , I'd keep it
