Best way to sell quantities of factory ammo?

[rdtompki]

Moved (almost) to the Boise area. Thanks to Caliornia's ammo purchase/sale laws I've got thousands of rounds each of 45ACP, 5.56, 40S&W, and 20 gauge. I'll post in the WTS section, but given the amount of ammo I wonder if a gun show doesn't make more sense; FWIW I have no gun show experience. Just looking for suggestions.

I reload 9mm so don't have a stockpile and I'll keep a supply of 5.56 and some 45ACP for the one "real" 1911 I own.

Place it here and it should go if the price is attractive.

I would sell the 40 and 20g locally, either thru forum contact or craigs list on your terms (flakes) Probably local forum and web groups from local clubs and sport specific groups such as action shooting ect. I would keep what I have weaponry for such as the 556 and 45.
Just me thinking!

Sell in the classifieds. If priced right it will go quick.

Bring it with you and shoot it up. Or drop it off at my place on your way by.

I just want to see the 1911?

Because Craigslist is anti everything, you might try posting an add here:
Local IDAHO Classifieds !

I don't understand? How could someone have too much ammo?

I googled "too much ammo". There was no such thing.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions....

I'd think that if I saw an ad that said "Too much ammo, pick up now, pay later" you could lighten your load quickly.

Bing and DuckDuckGo gave me the same results. So....
There you have it.

Kinda like a girl too pretty with too much class, being too lucky or a car too fast

You could have an amazing range day.
Then sell the rest.

Attend a quality high round count class!

Exactly. I can't remember the last time I had a surplus of ammo I could just burn through. That would be so much fun.

I'd just hang on to it.. unlike Oakland where they use bongos and sirens for communication, people in Idaho commonly use gunfire morse-code style all the time.

Just shoot it.

I no longer own a 40S&W and have no desire to own another. There may be a zombie apocalypse scenario where the rounds might be useful, but nothing beyond that is coming to mind.

We haven't touched our 20 gauge shotguns in three years (plus) and I'll probably sell the two we have. Ammo takes up a lot of space and probably not very effective on zombies.

• 22lr - 10's of thousands, but it cycles in most everything except our 1911 22lr conversions. Purchased just before the draconian ammo laws took effect to give my wife a year+ supply for her heavy practice demands. Since I've already trucked it out to ID no reason to sell.
• 45ACP - well, at least I have one gun chambered in't that round.
• 5.56 - ok, I've joined a club nearby and I'll probably send some rounds downrange, but I probably won't outlive the ammo supply
• 9mm - you can pry the 9mm out of my cold dead hands. Even though I reload factory rounds are good for function check.

California only allows a private party to sell 500 rounds/month so I didn't even both trying to sell anything. Look at it this way, California's loss is Idaho's gain.
