Hey pallies. So, I've been downsizing a lot of things in life, including dumping some guns. I've kept what I really like or likely will use, but sold what doesn't make sense, so essentially done with the gun side of it.
But I was working on cleaning out the storage area where we keep most of our ammo today and I realized I'll likely never shoot a lot the stuff. Normally I would just let it be, but with some cartridges floating around or above a buck per round, it might be worth selling off.
Which leads me to some questions:

Which leads me to some questions:
- Is there any market for well stored, some in boxes, but others loose cartridges? None, as in zero, are handloads; they're all factory loads. Most are in boxes, some are loose in bags. All are in metal ammo boxes at the present.
- Counts run in the hundreds to low thousands, depending on the cartridge. Some are real mainstream (think .30/30 Winchester, 12-gauge buckshot, 5.56mm, etc.) and some less so (think .45/70 Gov't, 7.62mm Nagant, .38 S&W, etc.).
- I've dumped a lot of guns on Gunbroker (and similar) over the years, but never sold ammo. I'm concerned about shipping, both regulations governing shipping such things and the weight. I can sell locally, though I live in a rural area, so buyers will be somewhat limited and, to be blunt, I'm not particularly interested in interfacing with many folks around these parts.
