What is my .32 long rimfire ammo worth?

[jim in Anchorage]

I have 4 boxes (50 in a box) of navy arms .32 long rimfire I'd like To sell but have no idea what to ask. Also is it best to sell.by the box or say a min order of 10 rounds?

I saw boxes for sale at the Washington Arms Collectors show for $125.

How are you gonna get it to them, Jim? Planning a trip south?

My #2 rolling block is still hungry.

I am south right now, visiting. Buffalo NY to be exact. Smelled my chance and put it in check in baggage. So from here I can ship truck with no hazmat. Odd they don't care if I put it in the hold of a passenger plane, but a cargo plane requires hazmat.

How can that guy sleep at night? $6.95 a round?

Have you seen some of the other ammo prices there? It would seem most of the ammo is rare to very rare.

Since I see they buy as well as sell, it might be worthwhile to see what they would offer you for your ammo, if you have no takers elsewhere.

Ammo-1 is a site for cartridge collectors, not shooters. The OP would probably be best off by selling them by the box to shooters. That is fairly new ammo and should be shootable without any problems. It is not common anymore, so ask a high-ish price, but be willing to drop until you get a good offer.

Really old, collectible ammo in calibers like .32 Long rimfire and .41 rimfire will be priced much higher than current made ammo in the same Caliber.

In the past couple decades Navy Arms had small batches of old western ammo no longer on the commercial market made for owners who like to shoot their old guns. It's more expensive than common calibers, but no where near what collectible original ammo is worth, especially if original ammo is still in the 19th or early 20th century boxes. Some people collect old boxes.

Now if Tark will take his finger out of my eye...
No really was happy to sell to Tark, he's been asking for years but I couldn't get around the Alaska hazmat problem.
