What does the "repacked" mean?

First off...yes.
Next, the rounds were made by Winchester (WCC) and for some reason repackaged into the tin can at Evansville. Perhaps Winchester didn't have the right packing machinery?

[imarangemaster]

WOW! AT $1.25 a round, I can shoot a Sharps buffalo rifle for that!

[Cosine26]

I believe that "WCC" is the identifier for Western ammo not Winchester.

Nuts maybe.

It is a desirable item, maybe $500 sealed in the can, just not $1065 worth.

definitely desirable, I'd go maybe 4 bills..I cant see paying more than .50 a round when I can go to Wall Mart and get factory fresh for that. I guess the history and the can are worth a little more but heck,I'm gonna shoot it!
It is funny seeing so many guns end auction and 0 bids..

I thought Western Cartridge Co was a sub-company of Winchester?

[rice 123]

I do not know about the ammo but I see the same guns on GB for months if not years with ridiculous reserves. at some point you would think the seller would ask himself the question, no one has bid on my gun in months maybe it is priced way to high or maybe it is a piece of crap not worth my asking price

[Smokehouse69]

Yeah I laugh at many sellers out on GB, the same over priced stuff week after week. I guess they are hoping that somebody is going to just have to have their item and will pay anything for it!

[stickhauler]

If I remember right, this same guy has had this for sale numerous times with hardly a nibble, and has never backed off the price he's asking. Might be cool for the historical factor, but not at that price. Hell, I thought I was getting hosed paying $80.00 for a 120 round bandoleer of the stuff.
