Belted Surplus .303 in ammo cans, worth?

**tims87gn** · 02-23-2013 08:20 PM

I've been lurking on here a bit educating myself, and finally got around to asking a question. So here it is...
I found someone that has surplus belted .303 in WWII era ammo cans, one of which is dated 1943. The one I'm interested in contains 250 rounds. What is a fair price for this given today's marketplace. He wants $1 a round. I walked away from it, but for some weird reason I'm drawn to it. Could someone educate me on this?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

For WW2 surplus ammo I think the price being asked is way out of line. Priv sells for around $15 a box and that's new non corrosive ammo.

Yeah, I know. I have some currently ordered. He was wanting over $200 for a 440 can of 7.62x54r. I'll just steer clear of it. I may find a deal at the gun show coming up next weekend, at least better than that.
