How Much Do You Spend On Ammo Boxes?

[+beopots]

I have recently come across some ammo boxes, but I don't know what the going rate should be. It's a pretty large supply, so if I get a good enough deal watch for the sale of the year!

So, my questions:

• How much do you usually pay(or would you pay) each?
  
• What do you generally pay for shipping?
  

 

Mostly 30 cal, but price 'em all!

 

Thanks.

I have paid $3.95 at local retail store that sells old military items. I have seen one priced at a junk shop for $20!

We bought 6 - 30 cal. at cheaper than dirt for $20 + $7.99 s&h. But now they are $5.97 each for 50 cal. no 30 cal. listed (s&h varies depending on your order)

I usually pay around $5.00 at a Cabela's store. It saves on shipping.

$4.95 at the local farm supply store.

30 cal are $1.50-$2.00 at flea markets & gun shows.

50's are usually $3-$4. At least around here. (NC)

I've got a couple like two years ago for $2 at a big tent / flea market sale. but haven't seen those people in a while

the local farm suplly stores, and miltary surplus places have them for 4.50 to 6.00 depending on sizes and location.

Which is why the last batch I got came from Cheaperthandirt.com, it came out to 3.33 (six for $20) and shipping was free since it was done over the internet and total was over a certain amount. I noticed their last catalog didn't list any 30cal cans, wonder if they're out for the moment??

I have to pay $8 each at the military surplus store here. At least I don't have to pay shipping or worry about the UPS man being afraid of our dogs.

They were gone from cheaperthandirt for quite a while, but now they are back: 6 .30-cal cans for $19.97. (In this post in the New England forum, CacheNCarryMA mentions that the total was $25.96 after shipping costs were included. Still a good deal!
