16 guage shells

[bigbullshooter]

i have 2 boxes of Canuck 16 gauge, 2 3/4", 1 oz, #8's shells. and 2 boxes of Remington 16 gauge, 2 3/4. not sure if this is the right place to be but can anyone tell me if they are worth any money? they are full boxes of shells. like brand new. thanks

Are you looking for offers, or just wondering if there worth anything due to their age?

[bigbullshooter]

well both i guess. are they worth more than just the shells themselves? like for a collector or something like that?

[powderburns]

To me their worth $5.00 a box for target shooting but only if I could pickem up in the LML. You could try [url=http://www.canadiangunnutz.com] maybe a collector over there. I'm sure shipping would be worth more than the shells are worth.

I am in Pg. thanks for the info. i have no use for them and dont know anyone with a 16 gauge. just put them back in the closet i guess, thanks

Or buy a 16 guage.

You might sell them pretty quick if you head down to the local PG trap and skeet range. 15Ga shells are usually more expensive then 12ga, and some fellows may really like to get them at a decent price. The #8' are good for trap or skeet shooting, and they may be reloadable shells, which would be a bonus factor for anyone shooting 16ga clay games. Reloadable empty shells often sell for .10 each or more for the uncommon gauges.

I often see empty shell boxes of the vintage nature of those Canuck's, sometimes selling for pretty good dollars on e-bay, to collectors. You could always bag and sell the shells separately. Not sure of the Remington boxes, as to what vintage they are, but if they are really old, ie; same age as the Canuck shells, you may get a few bucks for those boxes as well. I'm sure the Canucks are late sixty's early seventys..

I bought an entire case of older plastic hulled Canucks in 12 guage last year for $4.00 a box. In 16 Gauge I would hazard someone might go double that. Those Canucks are re-loadable but you will need an older manual for some recipes. The Remingtons are worth about the same.
