In advance, thanks for any input. I have some old 12 and 20 gauge paper/wax shotguns shells. One complete box of 12 guage and assorted other 12 guage and 20 guage. Where can I post this - Trap shed or other website? I'm in WA state. Thanks.

shipping ammo legally is a pain for most , you have to have a UPS account and jump through some hoops
you probably want to make it for local pick up only

The shells on the right, in the bottom picture, appear to have been reloaded POORLY, and should be discarded.

IMO they are all only collector ammo, but pretty common. I'd say they are worth about 1/2 what they would cost to ship. A local buyer may give you $20 for the lot if they like them to set on a shelf.

Actually. I'd shoot the blue ones, or set them on my ammo collection shelf, the paper ones fit in my opinion above.

Those paper shells are reloads, and very questionable reloads at that. I would never shoot them. In my opinion you have a collection of worthless trash.

They could set them on the shelf as a warning to what to watch out for when reloading.

I totally disagree. I know what swollen shells look like and those are not swollen. They are junk reloads.Just look at the crimp.

Thanks all for the input. I'll "dispose" of all of them. Gave away a few to be used as props for waterfowl taxidermy. Happy holidays

If you're looking to sell them, read rule 9 in the header for the shed.
