Sell the ones you don't want for as much as you can. There isn't anything to do with morals. Everything has a price tag.

I sold 2 of my PMAGs to a friend that bought an AR just 3 days before the CT shooting. He went looking for mags a few days after the shooting, and luckily he called me before he started buying. Asked if 29.99 per pmag was a good deal, I told him not compared to the 12.99 I had bought 15 of them for a month earlier. So I sold those at normal pricing to him (15.99). As for the others, holding tight to them, really no plans to get rid of them unless they start selling for upwards of $75 normally. (Assuming that would be after some kind of ban)

I'm all for capitalism. Sell it for what you can get.
Since when is making a profit on goods and services considered bad?

I wouldn't feel right asking an obscene amount for them but if you do put them on an auction type like someone else said, have at it!
But what I think is right and what anyone else thinks is a moot point. It's America and choices are free (so far)
I bought a 3 pack of Troy Battle Mags today at Rileys in Hooksett NH for 48 bucks. I saw the same ones on Ebay for 150.

So putting them on an auction site with an opening or minimum bid of $125 for 4 makes me a decent guy, but asking 4 for $125 for them and not caring too much if they sell or not makes me a douche?
Its not like my actions would raise the price for anyone else. These are mags that were not taken off the open market.
Would selling an ounce of gold for more than the $300 it was once worth also make me a douche?
ps. I know of no friends or family that own a gun that would fit these. Most of the "gun people" I know are Fudds. I have given away a rifle mag that is worth much more than even the obscene prices these go for now, because I knew someone who could use it, and I couldn't.

Sell them for what you want and can! We all drive cars everyday but I don't see dealers selling there vehicles at "cost" so that we can all get into a vehicle and not get screwed on price. Good luck!

Well bro, you did put it out for opinions, so it looks like you got some
I'm going to keep all the 11 NY-scary ones I have, because:
1. When the fan turns brown, you can never have enough;
2. Bullets need a place to live if they are to be useful;
3. I always want to have something of value to offer when building a team of likeminded people. Nothing says "I love you" like the gift of a PMag
