Both are beyond a steal at .50 a round in today's market. Heck the gold dot is a steal at $1.00 a round. The s&B would be a steal at .70-75 imo. If you sell at .50 a round most likely someone will be buying and resealing at that price I hate to say it.
That's the problem with trying to give a deal to the OSA members. Someone will buy it double the price and resale it instead of shooting it.

If you pay close attention you will have a good idea which members might do that and those that most likely won't.

I try to deal with well established members that seem to deal fairly with others here. There are no guarantees but it helps to get to know others here a little.


Unfortunately there is an influx of new "members" that are only here to take advantage, in my opinion.

There is nothing wrong with stating you have the right to deal with whom you choose and will only deal with well established members of your choosing.

Is it really worth the headache to ask for opinions on a fair value? There’s only two parties opinion that matters and that’s the seller’s and the buyer’s. Get the best price or trade value that you’re happy with and move on. Don’t worry about what the buyer does with it once it’s theirs.

As for new members.... people have been complaining about them for the entire time that I’ve been a member of this forum. The new member problem usually resolves itself over time.

Ya but. One doesn't want to give the store away. How else does one get the best return while at the same time give the buyer the best deal you can.

Thanks a million gang. Hard to figure out what is fair to the folks on here, don't want to be called a Neck beard. I have 500 rounds of each and was trying to figure trade value.
The .45 is a reasonable deal, and I think you both walk away with your heads held high at that valuation.

On the other hand, you're seriously undervaluing the 9mm, IMHO. I think you should be looking for at least $1/round on that, maybe $1.25/round.
