.475 No.2 Eley loaded ammo value?

[RR 314]

The other post had me thinking about the value of this loaded ammo. My dad died a couple months ago and I picked this up out of his safe as a reminder and they are cool paperweights. Appears to be 2007 manufactured date. The rifle is long gone. Quick research showed sales around $100 per five. That sounds crazy. Numerous boxes of soft and solids. Does anybody have an idea what a reasonable price would be? If they are worth more in the free market than I value them on my desk as paperweights, I will sell them (minus a couple boxes) and give the proceeds to my mom. Thanks for any information.

Do any of you gurus have an idea on value? I should have gone through this stuff when my dad was still with us.

Rare caliber......whatever somebody is willing to pay.....
Cost you zero.....so what you want?

I am sorry for your father, my condolences.

Maybe I don't understand all right, but do you think 100 USD per box is too much or not ?

This is usable ammunition in a rare caliber. Maybe someone has been looking for such cartridges for a long time. 100 USD for a box of 5 cartridges is approximately the new price, in Europe they would be more expensive. For this reason I would first of all put it up at auction for a price a little under 100 USD and see what happens.

$100 seemed high to me. But that seems what the market may be.

I guess I will list it here. Perhaps someone can use it. My mom will be happy with anything she gets out of my desk ornaments. Thanks to both.
