I think we have some Garand people here. What are two boxes/cans of LC 72 ball worth as trade goods? These are as they came from the arsenal. 280 rnds, clipped. Original cans.

Thanks,

FN

I just got some loose Greek from CMP and it was 53 cents a round including shipping.

The last show I was at had enblocs going for $1.10 a piece.

This is 30.06, M1 Garand ammo. USA made in Lake City Utah, stamped 1972. stored in a cool dry wine cellar for the past ten years.

Curly? This is $1.0 per what?

En bloc clips...These are the 8 round clips the ammo comes in. The clips themselves are worth at least $1.00 each. This value, along with the value of say, another $2 each for the canvas bandoleers, if they are included, should be calculated into the value of each tin.

No bandoleers, but the original can, the clips, 35 per can, and those cardboard tip protectors. Seems to me, I bought them from CMP at around $85 a can... So what would it be worth today? Trading for some grading work
