Our mag laws in Ca. are pretty much useless & unenforceable. You can have a standard cap mag, even with a post ban date, call it a rebuilt mag because your old pre ban mag was damaged, & the law can't make you provide proof of when it was purchased.
No dog in the fight, but if you're "not looking to gouge and not looking to get gouged", check what a similar magazine is selling for new/used and set your price accordingly. Its not as thought USGI mags can't be found anymore.
I would be careful with these converted or blocked Pmags in NJ if they were originally over 15 rds and blocked to 15 to make them legal. I know originally (shortly after the AW and hi cap mag law hit in 1990) we were allowed to simply block a mag with a piece of wood, put the floor plate back on and call it a day.
But recently they changed it so that the mag has to be "permanently blocked". To me that means welding them shut if they are metal, or if they are the plastic kind, making it so that when u open them to try to unblock them, you can't do it unless u have to break the mag making it unusable.
I think that's silly.
supply and demand. Whatever the market price is, is what the market price is. If people locally are selling pre-ban magazines for $20/ea used and I offer the magazines at $11/ea, there's a pretty good chance that whoever buys them is just looking to flip them. By the same token if the going rate is $10/ea then that is the going rate.
I have a commodity that is worth something to people in certain markets. It's downright communist to just give them away.
I also want to make sure whatever I'm doing is legal, both for them and for me, and to understand what those in occupied states are going through a little bit better.
I agree 100%. And i am glad you brought this up!
I have about 20 Colt 20 round mags with alloy followers that I would like to sell and have wanted to sell them to guys who need them, not flippers.
I just "sold" two pre-ban G19 mags to a guy who ordered me three new G19 mags and had them sent to my house...
Here are a couple examples Rob,,from guys that Sold Mags to me from this Fourm !! I bought 6 Like New Mags from a guys for $85 bucks shipped,,and they were really like new,,,VERY nice !! Then a few weeks after that,,I bought 6 30rd mags,,finish was very little to none,,but all work and function fine & also 2, 20rd mags that were similar in shape and finish in the same group,,but also work fine,,drop free,,etc,,,I also paid $85 bucks for that group shipped !!! So here are just two examples of my experience with buying Pre-Bans & I would say these were Good/Fair deals,,I was happy with the end results !! I also have bought groups of 10/12 mags at a time in similar shape for less,,but I will normally get at least 1 mag that won't drop free,,or is kinda twisted or tweaked a bit,,,but then I normally pay $10/$12 bucks for mags when I grab that many at a time !! So for me when it comes to mags,,,I watch & look and if a deal pops up I will take a look !! I guess my advatage is,,I don't really need any,,,but if "Good" deals pop up,& I have some extra $$$,I will jump on it !!!![]()
Whatever I do it will likely be a lot sale with all or nothing. I'm afraid that if I split them up I'll get the "pick me out he best ones" thing and I don't want to get sucked into that vortex.
I'll probably try listing them as a lot based on the price info from this these and see if they move. Just want to find all that I hunk I have to do it all at once.
