Selling Ammo

[Tons of Guns]

I have a bunch of ammo that I would like to sell from guns I have sold. I’ve been out of the firearms world for a few years now and don’t know where is the best place to sell ammo these days? I posted here because not sure if I can ship it or have to sell it locally or what? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Have 5.45x39 Russian 1000 rounds (50 boxes of 20). Then another 160 rounds of tiger 5.45x39. 120 rounds of 7.62x39 Tula 124 grain. 680 rounds of PPU 7.62x39 123gr.

Easiest way may be to visit your local FFL and ask them to put it up on consignment.

You can ship ammo but it's a pain. You have to go to a shipping center and get it listed as a hazmat and pay a fee.

Ammo isn't hazmat. Powder and primers are.

OK...
Ammunition will be transported only when packaged and labeled in compliance with 49 C.F.R. § 172 (Hazardous Materials), and must be shipped in accordance with the UPS Guide for Shipping Ground and Air Hazardous Materials.

Why? There is no trouble. It's 100% legal to sell ammo.

I'd buy some depending on what you have and how much. Just keep posting or make a contribution.

Get a table at a local gunshow.
Depending on you location, there's a few nice gun shows for guys like you.
The Baltimore County Game and Fish Gun Show is a nice one day show under a big pavilion held on the Saturday before Easter and again Labor Day, $10 for a table!
The Bel Air show is all weekend in February, another local show for the individual. There's some local clubs like Pasadena's Stony Creek.
The best part about gun shows is you're around like mind individuals, you're surely make new friends and have a good time if you like talking guns or just like talking.
Some of these guys doing weekend gun shows don't make very much money, but they still go to most every show because they enjoy the comradery and first dibs before the doors open.
Even better, do a show with a friend.

Any 38 special?

I doubt a brick & mortar shop would care to assume the risk of selling someone else's ammunition. Sellers of new ammo on sites like Gunbroker refuse to take returns because of possible liability issues if the ammo is not as described. They're worried about reloads and such.

Drop ten bucks on MDS and put it in the classifieds.

Or succumb to BGOS (Battered Gun Owner Syndrome) and turn it in to the police. Because it's scary.

This; I do not sell used ammo of any sort purely on liability. Also the consignment rate would be so low it would not be worth the time.

Further down that page:
"To meet the exception for “Limited Quantity,” ammunition can only be shipped via UPS Ground within the 48 contiguous states, UPS Ground Intra-Oahu and UPS Ground Intra-Alaska. Ammunition is not accepted for shipment internationally. Shipping papers are not required.

Only the standard shipping charges apply when shipping ammunition. There are no "accessorial" or additional charges."

You do have to put the "hazmat, limited quantity" label on it though.

Uh, would that be just an empty case at that point?

Why not post what you have available here?

Speaking for myself I'd buy some ammo from ya if you had the calibers I shoot, and if you'd be willing to meet outside of MoCo

I'm sure there are others here that would do the same

That's against the rules... don't let Norton find out. It's be easier to get 50 posts.
