Original COLT AR-15 PREBAN mags sealed in plastic

dcsva
I AM NEW TO THIS FORUM AND AM IN SOME NEED OF SOME EXPERT ADVISE ON THESE PREBAN MAGS. THEY HAVE BEEN IN A BOX IN MY GRANDFATHERS ATTIC SINCE LATE 60s OR EARLY 70s. I WOULD LIKE TO SELL THEM BUT DONT KNOW THE VALUE. MOST OF THEM ARE STILL SEALED IN SETS OF 4 IN THE ORIGINAL PLASTIC. THEY HAVE MFG.UNDER SHELL DEVELOPMENT CO. AND THE DATE SEPT 1968 PRINTED ON THE INSIDE OF THE PLASTIC WRAP. HERE IS A LINK TO SOME PICS... http://tinypic.com/a/1yips/2
IF ANYONE KNOWS THE VALUE OR ANY OTHER USEFUL INFO IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS FROM A GIRL IN VA.

    There's really not that much of a market now for AR mags, as they are readily available & there is no longer a "ban" in most states.

    If they were mine, I'd be happy to get $25 each, & I suspect that some collectors would pay $100 for a four-pack. But, you may have to take less, especially if you want to sell them all as a package.

    If you have the time & patience, list them (a four-pack at a time) on the Gunbroker auction, with a starting price of $60, & I think that will bring you the most $.

    If they are pre-ban, include in your auction header the keywords 'NY Legal'. That will catch the eye of us folks that are searching for such items as these!

    Let use know when you post an auction

    20-25 would be fair

    I have listed some of these mags in a couple of different auctions. Here are the links...

    Your $80 starting bid on that auction is way too high [B)]
    And a 14 day auction is too long as the other one is showing. Just do a 7 day and the mags will sell faster [;)]

    It is a buy it now price of 80 and the other one is an auction that I started the bidding at a penny. Thought that was fair.

    First auction: You will get the fair market value for the mag's because you let the bidder set the price.

    Second auction: Good chance it won't approach the price you have listed as the starting price. And I can see the right three magazines show evidence of use in the bottom photo. (Classic 'print' of being inserted into an AR type rifle). If the bottom photo shows items that are not part of the auction, then I suggest you remove the photo, and show only the mags that are sealed in the plastic. It is what it is. Best, and good luck!
