    Anyone know if these shotgun shell boxes (and shells) are worth anything?

    So I was cleaning up the garage and noticed a weird (what I thought was a stud tie) panel nailed in that covered up the area between two studs. I peel the plyboard back and saw a bunch of boxes of Winchester AA track and skeet shell boxes. Anyone know if they are worth anything? If I sell these, maybe I'll have money to buy some rifle ammo before January!!

            They are worth about as much as new boxes of shotshells run at Walmart.
            Just shoot them.

                    and you don't know where they came from?
                    maybe they were used to hide something else.
                    maybe there is cash inside the shells, or cocaine, or jewels!

                      Maybe. I'm going to look though some of the boxes are still sealed. I just figured maybe they were worth something sealed though it seems the boxes are the moneymakers. Maybe I'll start a for sale thread!

                      I'd like to shoot it but don't think my shotgun will cycle it

                      Thank you all for your opinions. Let me know if you'd like to buy them!

                        I sold a bunch of AA 20 ga a few months back. Didn't get, nor try, to sell for anything over what 20ga sells for.
                        Ive got some "collector" grade ammo and boxes. Tried selling a few times but no one ever bites. As much as guys like old ammo boxes and such, I don't think anyone wants it enough to spend money on. Unless you're talking something really old/rare. Winchester rounds someone bought from Woolworths 25 years ago will likely not be worth much.
