Seems like a good deal to me:

I need some of these and it looks like a good deal.
Thanks for the heads up!

Their shipping weight is ridiculous. They say six pounds for one can! Must be compensating for the size by overestimating weight.

But get the order up to 10 cans and it's about $11 each shipped ($2.75 shipping per can). They have 8300 in stock.

Good tip. Thanks!

12 cans = $37 shipping. I don't think so!

Pretty sure they were cheaper at Chantilly last time I was there.

I find it weird that more IPs don't stock them as sort of a lure to get people into the store. They take up space, but they seem like an item that moves quickly when priced correctly (ie, $10).

No more ammo cans for me. Every time I buy a few more to relieve overcrowding, I go order more ammo to fill them up.

Same price if you buy 10 plus you have to pick them up on the classifieds. I'd obviously rather pick them up from a MDS member, but not if I have to drive an hour each way.

Total cost per can is the only thing that matters. That's $11/can which is reasonable if all you have to do to get them is open your front door.

I think the member with the pallet-load sold out. For me the total cost including gas was higher for those. (Might be cheaper now that I saw gas $1.99/gal this morning!) Also not counting the couple-hour round trip to get them.

Dang, I'm guilty of exactly that. The last time I bought four more with the intent of using two and having "spares." Yeah, they remained empty for about a week. :innocent0

It's not so much the final cost, but the cost of the shipping charges. $3 for each can for just shipping. I believe that just too excessive. Call it a principle thing, but when you sell something for a good price, you shouldn't try to rape the buyer in shipping charges.

Just my opinion,

So if they were $1 a can but $7 each shipping you still wouldn't buy them? Makes no sense to me but it is a free country. :party29:

Frederick Gun Show this weekend. The ammo can guy is usually outside with skids of them. The more you buy, the better the price.

It doesn't have to make sense to you. But if you're willing to pay more for shipping than is reasonable, then go for it. I don't need their ammo boxes. I will buy from someone that doesn't gouge it's customers with excessive shipping costs.

I bought 12 from an Ebay seller a few months ago and only paid $20 for shipping. That was a reasonable price for shipping.

What was your price per can?

$8.99 per can.

Shipped? That's effing sweet. Do you remember the seller/can you find the seller? I just did $11.50/shipped from Nat but if that guy's still selling them at that price I'll use him from now on.

No, I'm sorry, that was $8.99 per can plus the $20 shipping. I guess they equates to $10.66 per can delivered to my house.

Sorry for the confusion!

All good, still a great price. I never thought to look on Ebay for them. Next time I will. Thanks for the idea.

I remember Lou selling 4 for $25. I bought 20, thought that would be a lifetime supply. WRONG!!
