Found someone selling 5 Norinco AK mags in .223 in good but used condition. He seems to think they are worth 150 for all five. I think in the poor economy they are worth about 20 bucks a piece but made an offer of 22.65 per mag.

Is my offer our of line or would you agree it's a couple of bucks more then the seller should expect to get?

  As in any situation, the supply Vs. demand, dictates the price. The seller obviously knows what he wants for them, and unless he decides your offer is acceptable, he gets to keep them. It is that simple. keep in mind that Norinco is Chinese, and there will be no more legally imported, and the seller, most likely knows that.

  I found them on a collecting forum. I would jump on them at his asking price but I have 7 of em already. I don't doubt they are worth more but he bought them just to resell them and when it comes to me everyone wants a deal. Why can't I expect one too?
  
  I sent the counter offer and have not heard back yet. I guess I can put you in touch if the sale does not happen.

  I picked up 4 new ones a several years ago for $30 each at a gunshow. That was a real good deal they averaged $40 to $45 for used at that time. If you do not want them at that price I sure would be interested in them.
