Hom much to ask for Ammo?

[fiftyonegun]

Hi All, Newbie here. A couple of years ago I sold my AR15 and my 1911. I have some .223/5.56 and .45 ammo left over. I am thinking about taking it to the next Houston area gun show to sell. I haven't been to a gun show in years, and I have no idea what the current market is. How much should I ask? What does a round of AR15 ammo go for these days? How about .45? It is Federal .223, American Eagle 5.56 and Remington UMC .45.

Thanks for your help.

Welcome to the Forum!

Once you have met the requirements, you can offer it for sale here.

We see through you like a used bar of Neutrogena.

Sounds like you've gotten out of guns for good and you won't be around here much more.
You can see what going prices are on GunBroker for an idea of today's prices.

You can sell it for crazy prices now a days... but if you want to hook up a fellow shooter then i say %25 over original cost.

I am aware it takes 25 posts to list in the classifieds. I am not attempting to sell here. I am attempting to figure out what I should ask at a gun show to sell this ammo. I don't know that it would be the same amount that is listed on gunbroker. I'm as much a newbie at gunshows as I am here. Just thought I might save the $10 entry fee to gain this knowledge. All that being said, I understand the replies I am getting. I will try elsewhere. Thanks all.

You could pay the $10 to become a member here and then sell it for a decent markup. Lots of folks looking for ammo. I'd be interested if the price is right.

I last bought .45 from Academy for $19.99/50 and .223 seems to be running about $0.55/round from them last I saw.

Thanks. I didn't now the option to become a member with instant access to classifieds even existed. I just paid the $10 and y'all will likely soon see it up for sale in classified section.

Gun Shows are a complete waste of time and energy. What ever you believe your item is worth or what you see it going for on gunbroker.com expect a vendor to offer you 50% or less that value at a gun show or gun shop. That is after you waste time, money, and effort to get in the door at the show. Gun Shows haven’t been good since the late 1980’s very early 1990’s.

Sell it on TexasGunTrader.com (I have no association with them).

You have in demand calibers and they should sell there. Utilize a safe area to conduct a transaction (RE: Police Substation works here in SA)

Good Luck.

Thank you for doing it the "right way". It is appreciated.

What’s your location?

No friends you can give it to?

Gun Shows won’t give you shit for anything.
Your stuff is radioactive poop. Of course their stuff is solid gold.
The pirates there will rip you off.

Moonpie said it better than me. Gun Shows are for suckers. The vendors usually prey on new shooters who haven’t a clue the real market. The saddest part is people spend money to get into them only to get ripped off.

They are NOW, but I've got a few good deals in the past.

 

[Moonpie]

Once upon a time gun were a great place to find deals.

Now they’re infested with pirates peddling overpriced broken down crap.

If you offer it for sale on here at almost any price at this point it will be picked up within minutes of you posting it. Last I checked 5.56 is going for 70 cents a round (if you can get it.) If you sell it for 50 you'll be giving anyone a discount. 45 I haven't kept an eye on.
