IF you decide to sell, you might want to consider listing on the International Ammunition Association's "Collectorcartridge" site, as there seem to be more ammo collectors there, and you might get a better price.

Depends on the condition of the boxes. Unopened, with no bullet tip holes in the cardboard is what brings most to collectors. If opened, depends on the type, Incendiary are holy grails ( blue tip), Red tip ( tracer), silver top ( APIT) third, black tip ( AP) common, and regular ball least. Go to oldguns.net for pricing. Regular red stripe ball 25-35 bucks depending on manufacture.

As stated above, prices are quite variable depending on condition of the box. The .45 ACP M1911 ammo seems to be more readily available than the .30-06 from WW2, but it's all getting scarce now so even open/partial boxes are in demand. What are you wanting to sell?

I thought APIT was the hardest to find.
