+marlboroman63 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I have found a supplier for Ammo Cans, all sizes. Is there anyone interested in buying these and what would be a fair price for them? Please let me know about pricing and interest in. THANKS Quote Link to comment
+rayt333 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 local army surplus has .30 for $5 to $7 each .50cal $8 to $10 less if you buy several online it is the shipping which costs so much Quote Link to comment
+BZLuck Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 If they are willing to post pricing including UPS ground shipping, you might find interest. I have yet to hit my local surplus store(s), but rayt333's prices sound about right for "in-store" purchases. If they will cost another $5 each to ship, then I doubt they would get many sales except from desperate people who have no access to surplus stores. Besides, once they hit the $15-20 range (with shipping) you can just buy something like an Otterbox through Amazon. Quote Link to comment
+BigAl437 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 The pricing mentioned above is right on. I recently bought the 30 mil can and it was around $8.00. If I had to pay for shipping on top of that I would not have bought it. If they gave a good price for several and the shipping wasn't too bad I might consider it. Otherwise I'll just use the Surplus store. Keep us updated. Quote Link to comment
Kaboodle The Great Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Wish my surplus store weren't such idiots. When you can get Ammo cans he wants $12+ for a rusted non-airtight one, one on good condition he wants upwards of $20 Quote Link to comment

Ammo cans are aplenty here in SD, about $5-8 all you can carry. I just wish they were not so expensive to ship, or I'd hook you all up. Quote Link to comment

MAybe you could pass the guys id out to friends at local get togethers or drop his info into caches you go to and get some kind of break from him when you want to pick up some for others that go his way via you! just an idea. Then you could sell them for less and the added shipping would not hurt so bad. JMHO/ McEllen Quote Link to comment

+jindi kid Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I would buy some but shipping is going 2 be annoying Quote Link to comment
+GeoBroke Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 all ammo cans at my local surplus are 18-20 dollars. less if you don't want a lid! Quote Link to comment
MOYNI Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 wish we still had a surplus store, kinda sad that I live near the largest bases in the country and no nearby surplus store. The one we did have closed like 15 years ago and was torn down not long after to be replaced by a parking lot. Quote Link to comment
+ReedKyCacheFinders Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Nearest Army type base to us here is well over 90 miles away. We can get 30cal ammo boxes for $4.95 at our local Surplus Store in Evansville. & I think the 50cal's are like $7 or $8. They are New & if not they sure in like new condition & are well sealed.

+kwcahart Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 You can usually buy ammo cans at the gun shows for $6.00 or so for the .30 cal, $8.00 to $10.00 for the .50 cal. Quote Link to comment
