I was going through a few things this weekend. I found two stamped ar15 mags from 1992 and 1991 made by Center Industries. I also had one magazine without any markings on it. I figured these would be of value to someone in ban states. What would be a fair price to sell them for? I had seen some going for $125, not sure if thats high, low, average, I just wanted to price them correctly. Thank you for the feedback and help as always.

You work for the TSA?

Are they new? Used? What color followers?

On average - $15 - $20 each.

I will look tomm to see what color followers they had. I thought $125 was alot too, I mean I thought $40 bucks would be alot, it was on one of the auction sites. From your feedback it confirmed what I had thought, thanks for the info as always.

but in states where you cannot get new mags, its an option so long as the body is good, you can buy springs and followers.

Before the ban took effect magazine makers were turning out hundreds of thousands even millions.
There was never a shortage of pre ban AR mags and had the ban not been lifted there would still have been plenty.

The main thing that happened was prices came down because of the ban being lifted.

I never saw a shortage of magazines except for early 2009 when people went nuts buying up all mags and ammo because of the impending Obama confiscation.

I realize some states have those mag bans but if every real American left every state that had unconstitutional bans that would change

This is the truth. When mags were $20 each, there were plenty to go around. Now that i can buy GI mags for $8 or Magpuls for $10, i have more mags than i need (not sure if that's ever true though) because i always pickup a few every time i order something since they are so cheap.

If i had some pre-ban mags i would do what Non-conformist does, send the 20 year old mag to someone in a ban state and have them ship you the same # of brand new mags of your choice. That way you help someone out in a ban state, and get to trade in a 20 year old mag for a brand new one.

I have sold them for $15-20 each plus shipping. The better the condition and with a date stamp will get a higher price (up to $25). I have also offered for folks to send me 1 Pmag or 2 GI mags for a Pre-Ban.

MA only: As for bad mags in the state of MA they hold value ($5-10) if you have the body and base plate. This has become common practice to crush the body and keep it while placing the old base plate on the new body as one would under the old fed AWB. (Basically ending up without any more magazines after repairing the bad one.) However, the MA AG has not issued a final (or any) decision regarding this piece of legislation.

@OP: I would also like to let you know that selling these to certian ban states is viewed as an illegal act by the Mods. I would encourage you to tread lightly on this topic not talk about this on this site as you could have your account suspended or be banned. A safe and legal place to discuss your original topic is on northeastshooters.com

Disclaimer: I do not, and this is not an attempt to, solicit or procure Pre-ban mags from anyone on this site. These statements are for informational purposes only.

Don't put words in our mouths. What you were attempting to do was in clear violation of MA's exisiting AWB laws. You kept giving us YOUR interpretation of the MA law but YOUR interpretation doesn't count. The only interpretation that counts is the one adhered to by the MA Attorney General, which contradicted YOUR interpretation. How other states with AWB laws handle this isn't our problem either but making public comments that you were going to violate the existing MA laws didn't and still doesn't sit well with us.

Until MA changes its laws, any comments by you or any other member that purport to violate those laws are not going to be condoned here. If you keep spouting this shit off I'm going to ban your account. Is that clear enough for you?

At the risk of being banned where is this sentiment in writing? Neither you nor your staff have provided this. Never the less I have not committed these actions on your site since we last spoke. However, I do admit I was rather vague in the scope of illegal actions. I apologize for putting some words in you and your staff's keyboards.

I have not made any statements on your forum saying that I am or am going to "violate" MA law since the last time I was banned.

You really want to go there again? The current law in MA is the MA AWB. It's still in effect. You and others may not like it but it's still the law. We're not going to rehash the MA law or your interpretation of it here again. We wasted 4 pages of posts and many emails/PMs the first time. The OP's questions have been answered and you're not going to derail this thread.

Here's some other sentiments - in writing. Take a week off to contemplate them because you're starting to get under my skin again.

FSN General Rules

Paragraph 2 - The following ground rules are the basic foundation to which we expect all members to adhere to. Indiscretions or outright disregard for these rules may result in violators being warned, either in the forum directly, by PM or by email. Repeated violations may result in loss of posting privileges and/or loss of membership. Your Florida Shooters Network membership may be terminated at the discretion of the Staff. These rules are just a general guideline to the type of behavior expected of our members. Situations which haven't been specifically addressed will be handled by the Staff on a case by case basis and the rules may be revised from time to time.

4 - No Discussions Involving Obviously Illegal Activities. Depending on the specific circumstances, the Staff may decide to involve the appropriate authorities where deemed necessary.

Technically speaking discussing anything about Massachusetts, anything in Massachusetts or even mentioning Massachusetts is grounds for being banned.

After all, everything is illegal in Massachusetts. [smilie=pdt_xtremez_23.gif]
