Had to sell my WASR 10/63 w/ 5 mags a few weeks ago (bills + unemployment + waiting on commissioners court to tell the SO to re-open hiring = broke, lol)
No big deal, I got it fairly cheap before the election, picked up a couple mags and while it surely wasn't an Arsenal or Krebs figured I'd take it to a couple places and see what they'd say.
Went to the largest store in town. Indoor range, "thousands of guns in stock" type of place. The kid behind the counter offers me $250.
I laugh and say "You've got 3 over there for $500+, I think you can do a little better then that" He sits in a room for ~10 min, comes out and says "I can't get any more than $350 for it being it's used, $250 is as high as I can go. Besides extra mags dont bring shit on resale."
I asked him why they even sell new or used mags if they don't bring anything, and he says "cuz people want mags...there's no $$ to be made on magazine sales. We sell 'em at a loss"
I look behind me at the multi tiered lazy susan full of Tapco mags @ 25% above Tapco' price, get my gun and walk out.
