Guest hookedonhunting Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Last year i bought a box of hornady 17 mach2 ammo that had "First Production Run" Stamped on it. I have left that box unopened. I was wondering if i should save the box or go ahead and fire them? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Re: Box of ammo question Who knows? Maybe in 50 years or so they will be collectable. It's anyones guess. It seems to be an awful long time to hold on to something that may or may not appreciate in value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Re: Box of ammo question Like AJ said, you never know. I'd say for the sake of $5 or whatever you paid for the ammo, it'd be worth putting away just in case it does appreciate in value over the years.

Jeramie Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Re: Box of ammo question But really how much value could you gain? Its cheap enough that holding onto the box wont really cost you anything but I have my doubts that it will be worth much at all, even in say 20-years. just my $.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Re: Box of ammo question Kind of doubtful it would ever be worth much or anymore than the going rate for the ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xen Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Re: Box of ammo question hey, hang on to it, go buy some new stuff. you never know about collectibles. and tross it on ebay. talk it up as "OMG!!! FIRST PRODUCTION RUN STAMPED BOX!!!!1!!1!!one!!" i'm exaggerating about that of course, but really, talk it up and put a $100 price tag on it. people buy all kinds of crap off there for more than they should. maybe somebody will think it's a collectors piece and snatch it up. worst case scenario, you lose .30 on an auction, but what if it sells...? like a lot of people have said, hey, it's a box of ammo, big deal. it will probably do nothing. but think about 30 years ago, children's toys weren't anything special either, now they're worth a fortune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
